Ronnie went by and saw these roundish orange 'things' beside the Jalapenos, Anaheim's and Serrano peppers and he asked the produce manager what they were. The manager said that they were Habanero Peppers one of the hottest peppers on earth and you couldn't just eat one. Ronnie said "Sure you can". The manager said to try one. Ronnie picked up two and bit them off at the end of the stems and started to chew saying things like "Oh yea, spicy, hmm spicy" about the time he swallowed he said he started to sweat like he'd run a marathon race in 100 deg weather and it started to feel like someone was pushing their thumb against his esophagus.

It was the dead of winter with snow on the ground. Ronnie said he laid on the seat of his pickup with the doors open for 3 hours, praying for God to call him home. The next time he had a bowel movement he started to pray to God again.

Ronnie swears that if someone were to put a Habanero in front of him along with a million dollars cash to eat the pepper, he'd get up and walk away.

By the way I believe that those peppers that the girls 'tasted' were dried so the oils and all were more concentrated than if they'd been fresh, but I would presume that the result would have been close to the same.

Misses Gump was right! "Stupid Is as Stupid Does

Habanero isn't that bad. I grow them and eat them all the time. I would not recommend eating two if you aren't used to them. Over time, you build up a tolerance for the hotter peppers. I've gotten to the point that I'm hard to hurt. [emoji3]

A little drama?[emoji3]

I think a little unexpected pain and punishment would be more correct.

Doesn't everyone like to puke and toss up blood for a little drama?

Just wondering

Weather has been great these last few days, and soil was perfect for tilling.
All ready for planting, but no plants yet. Figure the weather wasn't right yet and the first ones rotted...should have lettuce going in today, but it didn't come up either.

Nice looking plot there Mike

Sometimes our seeds don't sprout and get us ahead of the game like we'd hope. But I'm sure that you'll have a great year

The strawberry plants are really doing well for only being the second year/especially after a rough winter. Lots of blossoms='s lots of berries



I 'think' I finally found out what kind of bee I keep seeing. But I'll post those picks in the Bee Keeping Forum.

Our strawberries have not started to bloom.

'Something' had been digging in my little strawberry patch. At first I thought it was yet another cat who hadn't learned it's lesson but it hadn't left any 'gifts'. The last time I had cats crapping in the bed I bought some old fashioned mouse traps and set them in the area that had been 'used'. After a couple of the traps disappeared, so did the gifts.

Anyway I set some mousetraps out and just a bit ago I heard a YIPE! The neighbors let their pup run loose and it had tripped one of the traps. I reset it and I do hope it comes back and takes one home!

There is NO BAIT!! So whatever triggers the trap is going there on it's own free will and hopefully will wish to never go back again.

Here's where the digging had been. It's from the pic I posted today but I hadn't bothered with showing the digs. See the ovals and circles in Black.
