Fred - one of the first things I learned was to be facing them before I started shaking that feed bucket. They will crowd right around me and all they see is the bucket but 4 of the boss ewes get close on my side and kind of guide me to the feed troughs.

Ringo is a gentle now as he was before I put the ewes with him. I still keep an eye on him but he is about as laid back as any sheep I've seen.

Must be those 4 ewes don't think you are very smart!

I rarely turn my back on anything with 4 legs and sure don't do it at night. My cows act really spooky and strange at night..not aggressive, but just different, like they see ya but they don't know what you are...
(some days, after all these years, I don't even turn my back on my wife...)

I think I found my main sweet pepper for canning whole peppers next season. When we were at the fair last week I saw one booth that had a whole bunch of different kinds of peppers and the label on the sweet peppers said "tastes like candy". The best part is they actually do. The peppers don't have many seeds but what there was I saved for planting next year. He said that everything he grows is open pollinated so we shall see.

They look really good....did he mention the variety?....may have to give some a try....

The label by the peppers said Yum Yum but I didn't turn anything up in a quick search. He said all of his seed came from Bakers Creek though and all they sell is heirloom.

I'll try some in a bed off to themselves and hope they come back true.

Fred - If they turn out to be a hybrid they may not come back true but I have enough seed to share some if you want a few and hope they are Heirloom.

I found this - but not Baker Creek or Heirloom

Thank you - I was afraid of that - that picture is them so they are a hybrid. I may try a few anyway since I have plenty of space.
