All Things Gardening 2018

[Irving]

The garden's doing pretty well this year since I put up a fence to keep the deer out.

Here's a challenge... I have a Carolina Reaper plant. Wife brought it home instead of a jalapeno plant I asked for. I'll send any of you a pepper (or as many as you want) if you promise to make a video eating it (or just taking a bite) and posting it up. I'll say it right up front...I sure as hell ain't gonna eat one. I make take a (very) small taste but that's about it.

Should be ready in another few weeks:

Done. I'll PM you my address. I'll take ten if you have that many.

[Bailey Guns]

You can have them all...except 1.

[Irving]

Are you going to make a video as well?

[Bailey Guns]

Uh...no. I don't expect to eat a piece large enough to cause enough excruciating pain to be video worthy.

I may put a small slice or two in some green chile or something.

[Bailey Guns]

Typical daily haul. At this point we're giving most of it away. Fortunately there's a church just up the road that gives it to families that need it more than us. Good stuff, though.

I've been working through those peppers you sent me. Thanks again.

I've been working through those peppers you sent me. Thanks again.

Are they really really hot?

True story... My husband woke me up early one Saturday morning & said: Wanna see me cry? Not waiting for a response he laughed (almost a giggle) & then ate a few little peppers right there next to the bed. I think they were Ghost peppers. Always true to his word, he cried. That was only the first, now he does it every year. That might have been the only time he cried though because now his eyes just sweat. He eats habaneros like cherry tomatoes & we have bottles of hot sauce that when opened, I can't even be in the room.

Been talking to a few of the neighbors, to see if they have an interest in a garden co-op. 4 tomato plants and 1/2 doz red potato ones were more than we could eat this year.

[Irving]

No, they aren't very hot. Good though. I put them in my eggs.

[Bailey Guns]

They weren't what they were advertised to be. I think they were mislabeled at the store. Try again next year.
