Fresh Habanero Peppers

Thank you Tamara Elmore Young for the fresh peppers. I didn't plan to make anything but after seeing how fresh and hot they were I couldn't resist. This batch that you gave me is some of the best peppers I've had in a long time. I need to check you out next year. I am heading to Hatch Kitchen to prepare for the store in a few days.

Again, thank you so much for believing in me and sharing your harvest. I will be making more to share with family and friends.

Taste of the Caribbean hard at work! Wherever there is space, there will be vegetables. We are a few weeks behind due to the rain but things are going well.

Time to clean my garden beds for 2018. Due to 2 groundhogs that destroyed and ate my garden plants I didn't have a successful garden season. Now that they are captured I am hoping for a great new season.

In cleaning my garden beds I came across garlic seeds, habanero peppers and spearmint plants. This is considered a great benefit because you know I will put them to good use. Especially the habanero peppers...ijs

Spring cleaning for fresh herbs and vegetables. Just finished cleaning one of my garden beds and my little private corner for meditation. In the process of cleaning I went to my compost bin for soil but couldn't touch anything due to the unknown plant that is growing inside of it. I can't wait to see what the outcome is and have the grounds covered with herbs and veggies.
