You know Surf, the one thing I like is red (bell) pepper jelly. I can only find it if it has been made by some talented little old lady in her kitchen.

I likes me some jalapeño or Serrano jelly. Pomegranate/Serrano jelly is the bomb diggity.

I know things...

Should I ferment, or just go regular?

Thats about three pounds, first pick...

The wife has gone full bore on canning and asked what I would like...
6 bunches of green onions, 20 roma tomatoes, 12 serranos, 2 bunches of cilantro (all hand chopped).
Juice from 2 limes and a dose of Lowry's garlic salt.
Hope the canning process does all the yummy freshness justice.

OK fellas, riddle me this
Take the humble jalapeno.
Is this correct?
Green = Jalapeno
Red = Fresno
Red/smoked/dried = Chipotle

Also, in some parts of the US it is getting warm enough to start our gardens.
What'cha got?
This past fall/winter I lost my pomegranate tree.
High winds and soaked soil, and some bad pruning on my part.

I think Fresno is a variety of jalepeno. Any Jalep will turn red when it ripens. Otherwise, yeah.

I planted my tomato seeds a few weeks ago, they're coming along nicely. Will plant them out around the end of this month.

I've had some good cauliflower and a few OK broccoli harvests the last few weeks. That's about it at the moment.

 

[FLATU8ER]

Yup Surfy,
I knew about the ripening process.
Just going on about proper names, to see if what I
thought was actually correct. So thanks.
I have spent many years in the fields of western Fresno Co,
and Merced, Madera, and Kings Co.
I miss it sometimes, but my back and feet don't.

Repotting tomato babies…

Looks good Surf, Romas or Fresh?

Both.

Had some good cauliflower this season, more on the way…

 

[surfpig]

I'm going to plant out my tomatoes this weekend.

Fair warning: there will be a hailstorm in the Sacramento Valley in the very near future.

What was that about a hail storm?
