(no subject)

 I have never regretted trusting the internet more than when I bit into a pepper earlier, that the internet called mild. 

It was not mild. 

Well.

It was probably hotter than a jalapeno. Which I would consider a mild pepper, but it was hotter. 

anyway. 

I ate a cucumber in the middle of a field in the hopes it would help and it did. 

Quick fieldwork update

other than the pepper regrets

Something knocked down and ate all my cornmeal corn. I'm grumpy about it. It looked good two weeks ago, just not quite dried down enough. Probably should have just harvested it then. Either raccoons or a bean. It was pretty thoroughly trampled and eaten. 

But everything else is going bananas. 

I got my tomatoes for seed saving, five or so different things, they are currently fermenting in their containers. I'll pour them off and clean on Monday. They get gross. 



All my cowpeas and things are really going now and some have dried down enough to harvest. Well. It was the mung and adzuki beans really. Tons of peppers are ready, except for like three varieties and that same fucking Feher Ozon pepper are juuuust barely orange. I'm very mad. 

I also grew a new tomato variety that just came in and they are fucking enormous. I got the variety from a seed swap and it was just labeled Jumbo Roma and. It's so big. 





I also just ran out and harvested sorghum, which is coolio. Somehow I think my early red sorghum crossed last year, which I'm really confused about given it was far away and earlier than the others but we'll see.
