We get a gurney's catalog each year, so I'll have to pay attention to it....and see if Joyce still has it so I can mark it....Thanks!!

They are proud of them. That link to Gurney's shows 15 seeds for $8.99.

That does seem a mite expensive....it would need to be a prolific producer....

We are thinking about making some pepper relish since we have so many peppers in the freezer. I processed all of those that I picked yesterday when I stripped the plants and wound up with almost another 20 pounds.

There was two trays like the one in the picture. Once they freeze hard they will go in vacuum bags.

Well if you get 15 plants for $9 that's not bad compared to buying them already started (IF you can find the variety you want). Of course 15 seeds for $1 would be better

Do not know if you have tried these, but they grow well for us. They are organic as well, if that is something you look for:

We also grow a large amount of Green Chile and Jalapeños.

I'll give those a try. I have plenty of Jalapeno seeds from the same stock I've been using for a long time.

Teresa and I had to go out and retrofit some of our outside hot wires since some were touching the woven wire which took the charge down to under 2k volts. We fixed that and it's back up over 8k volts. While we were out Teresa took some phone pictures of the critters inside the portable netting. The older ewes are visibly with lamb and the others we expect will be soon.

The picture of the chickens in the hay bale (if I don't exceed my picture allowance) are more for the novelty. Our sheep reluctantly ate on that bale for over a month before we moved them out and would starve before eating it.

Thor is looking like a mature dog already and Maisy is just the perfect guard dog.

You have many more signs of fall there than we do, guess the thinner air up higher kinda promotes that. Those bellies are certainly pooching already. That pic of the chickens has a real Fall feel to it and they sure seem to like the shelter. Maisy has grown and matured into a really nice Girl....Thor just looks like he is setting on the ready....for the next "Big Adventure" just like a young growing boy....

And in a couple of years he WILL be a mature dog Unless Akbash mature faster than GPs.
