Stuffed bell peppers are great! Never had much use for banana peppers.

Pickle the banana peppers.

Not much green in the garden yet. Hoping to see spouts this weekend. We did get tomato, pepper, and cucumber plants. Someday I'll build a little greenhouse to start stuff. From seed we're doing beets, sugar snap peas, two varieties of bush beans, and popcorn. I put eight fruit trees in. Apples, peaches, plums, and pears. Two long evenings of working till dark. Feels good though.

Went up to water the garden this afternoon and found good things happening. Green beans are spouted beautifully. Beets are sprouting. Popcorn is starting to pop up and the sugar snap peas are germinating well so they should be sprouted in the next couple days.

I had to google stuffed banana peppers. The very idea, is my first thought. But I'll try it, they may go well with stuffed bell peppers.

Sweet sausage and bread crumbs. More bread crumbs than sausage. Marinara sauce, heavy on the garlic. Bake. Cheese after baking. Sangiovese. For extra credit, let the banana peppers fully ripen until they turn red before picking.

You might just enjoy them...it's not a dinner, though, but a starter or an aperitivo. Also, I apologize. I've had precisely three versions of stuffed bell peppers that I thought were fantastic. Unfortunately, in the Great Rude North, most people make them bland as pabulum and cook them until you don't need dentures to chew them. Same with stuffed cabbage.

Good thread.

Long day ahead of me tomorrow (well, today...it's 12:06). I picked three 5-gallon buckets of purple hull peas this afternoon from just 1 1/2 rows. Tomorrow I've got 2 1/2 more rows to go. I'm getting my daughters up early to help me pick so we can get finished before the heat gets too bad...assuming the rain holds off. Then I need to weedeat around the entire garden and get the grass off the electric fence. Then I need to cut my yard. And somewhere along the way I'll have to shell the peas so my wife can blanch them and put them away. I'll probably have my girls shelling while I'm doing the grass cutting.

My corn looks very anemic. The bad heat and drought hit at a critical time and seems to have had a really bad affect.

Sounds like a good day. The drought here was a bad one, and despite trying to water it, I lost what garden I had, except for a few jalapeno plants. And the muscadines are doing ok I think. We've now had ~6" of rain since Wednesday evening; 4" just today, well, yesterday. I've been planning to plant okra for the past month. It's late but I'll plant a row of okra today.
