Yep, I am still here, too. In DEE-troit, the weather has been soooo hot
and humid that I have peppers ready already. In July???
For those of you in other zones, that doesn't usually happen here in
Michigan. I picked a ripe NuMex today, roasted it and put it in pasta.
That's very weird. Our typical pepper ripening schedule here is at the
end of August to the beginning of September, so I am definitely blaming
the weather. A side note: the NuMex was very MILD (tasty, but mild)!
Ack! Usually, my peppers are a bit hotter, as well. I also have serranos
and jalapenos ready -- so Rael's butter recipe is going to come in very
handy. Thanks, Don!
Guess I'll just celebrate my EARLY pepper harvest here in Michigan and
be thankful that I have a few extra weeks to use up my bounty. Anybody
else have early crops this year?
