Peppers

D with red peppers harvested today. I plan to dry most of them. They’re quite prolific and trouble-free, and these are definitely the best peppers I’ve ever grown. They probably average about baseball-size. We grew these from seed.

Also experimenting with ways to eat wheat berries without grinding. Brought these to boil in the evening, then put them in the haybox overnight. Brought them back to boil next morning. Had some dried, sweetened cranberries in there — quite good.

Today I also dug 5 gallons of coffee grounds into the 20′ of the first potato row that has been dug so far.

D keeps wanting to swim in our little plastic pool while wearing underwear, so he goes through a lot. I washed a bunch today using the bucket and plunger method to make sure he doesn’t run out before laundry day. It’s not too bad, as long as you sit down and keep the bucket between your legs — it’s actually kind of relaxing. Trying to do it while standing up is painful.
