Paprika! What kind of pepper is it?

[@hazelbellefarm476]

Prayers for Greg! So good to “see” you, Jill. 😊

Praying the Great Physician our Lord heals Greg and showers blessings upon your family, Jill. Love from Connecticut.

[@evelyny7037]

We’ve already had 108, 107, and forecast of at least seven more days of over 100° out here in West Central Texas. It’s pretty brutal, but I’m not gonna quit praying for the good Lord to send us a big old rain and some cooler weather!

[@RA-pr8jz]

No I don't trust any produce imported to the USA except the greenhouse grown tomatoes from Canada. I grow my own vegetables with no pesticides or commercial fertilizer at all. I admire anyone who can grow their own food and they have something to eat because it is a true talent which helps people survive. Please get well soon Greg and I'm happy you're feeling better Jill. Take good care

[@sarahinthegarden]

Me too. I've planted Blue Lake a couple times and haven't really had much. I keep thinking it's been insect damage, but it's comforting to hear you talk about them too. Prayers for Greg! No weapon form against him shall proper in JN!

[@ntxg]

Amen!!!

I've missed ya! I too am grateful for a better summer than last. Praying for y'all.

[@ChurnDashFarm]

I'm glad you mentioned the Blue Lake beans. Mine have been bust for the last 2 years.

[@ntxg]

I know!!!

[@susancoward5067]

Same here. Planted them year and this year and they have hardly produced anything.

[@TheArtisanbard]

Same here in West Tx panhandle

[@amymartin7508]

Same here on those. South Arkansas

[@Thewildwestadventures2016]

Praying for y’all! So happy to hear from you!

[@amyschultz8058]

Praying for y'all. ❤ I'm glad you addressed the blue lake bush beans. Last year , we planted pole beans and I kid you not it took over like kudzu, we had beans out the wazoo. This year due to rotation we planted bush bean's, they are green, a few blooms, and we've gotten 8 bean's. We have been wondering if it was just us until yesterday I heard another person say their bean's did the same , worst year ever., With us, it's end of season . We're moving into brassicas, carrots , etc so all our bean's were a total loss. . Our Virginia summer here was rough, it got hot faster than normal, no rain , it was like rain would keep going around us. Other counties got rain and we stayed dry. The past few seasons have been bad and I'm hoping next year will be better. We are preparing for fall planting now and that will carry into winter for us until a artic blast comes through. It's great seeing you

[@1RodeoMom]

Yes it is finally getting hot hot.....105 today north of Georgetown. My garden is done for this year. Our water bill on a monthly basis last year was over $500 a month, this year we were lazy getting our sprinkler system put up on our garden. I have plenty peppers in my freezer and canned tomatoes and tomatoe sauce canned from this year. We are focusing on building on our 10 acres in Florence now also so garden is gone by the way side. My herbs and strawberries are still growing though. Can't wait to get our garden set up on the 10 acres. Our artchitect is putting our barn and home plans together this week for us. Prayers for Greg! Hubby came home today not feeling too well.

Hey Jill we are happy to see yawl. We feel the dust and allergies as well. Try fermented garlic and honey. Seems to work a little for us. Always praying for your family. Stay cool and God bless.

[@tracybruring7560]

I love those Alma paprika peppers fresh too

[@gardengrowinmawmaw8642]

We grew, freeze dried, and powdered paprika peppers last year. We ended up with a quart of powder. A super spice to have!! Glad you summer has been mild. Ours has been very hot, and dry.

[@theIAMofME]

Sorry about your hubby! I hope he is better soon. I only had c v once. In Jan of 2021. It was like a sinus infection to me. I got it right after a visit from my youngest who had just had one of those sticks or pokes. Her father and I never took any of them. He wasn't at home the day she visited. He didn't get it. I pray you guys stay well and cool. This summer has been brutal. Love from SW Tenn.

[@ntxg]

Thank you so much!!!❤️❤️

[@AmyTownley-fy9co]

Good morning 🌅

[@ntxg]

Good morning ❤️❤️

[@CandiceRealEstateProfessional]

Yes, I have had trouble with the Blue Lake green beans as well. Very few beans coming on. I water regular twice a day in this heat and three times when it is above 100 degrees.

[@ntxg]

Ugh

[@Tilly694]

I’ve been praying that we will have mild summer since our AC broke early Spring. And, I’m too broke to fix it😅. We do have portable AC though, but it can only do so much. Beryl knocked down my Moringa, I cut it and now it’s 3 feet tall.

[@deltorres2100]

I was recommended the Jade being that Jade is very prolific. They have it in bush and pole

[@lynnerskine3346]

Good morning glory! Have missedp you

[@larrydeubler7175]

[@lynngraffigna5152]

I planted baker creek rattlesnake pole beans and blue lake pole I have had a huge harvest all summer especially love the rattlesnake beans

[@ntxg]

Yay!!!

[@michellegooch1617]

Good to see you Jill. Have a great weekend. Thoughts and prayers

[@terrintexas8725]

Glad to see you're back! Sending prayers for Greg and your family and hoping Greg feels better soon. I had heard about the Jade bush beans and bought some to try this fall. Will have to find a place to plant them soon.

[@farmyourbackyard2023]

Glad to see you all are okay! Are you using home saved seed for the blue lake or purchased? You may try and find some old seed and see if it has better genetics.

[@gaynachapman5751]

Good Afternoon! I've been growing Roma ll green beans . Found them on MI gardener website. There is a 40% off sale going on thru September. We like the Italian green beans. They do way better than the bl have been for us. Have you grown cumin herb before? I'm giving it a try! Have a great evening 🌻🌻

[@GeorgiasGarden]

I also grew paprika peppers this year. My blue lake did not do well. I also grew Jade bush beans, and they were fantastic. I’m just north of you by the OK border. Prayers for Greg, Pop and you. We all have missed you.

[@ntxg]

Thank you, Gal good to know on the other beans

[@Angie-jg4nz]

My summer too hot and dry. Peppers horrible, big tomatoes horrible, watermelon vines dying off before the melons are ready. Sweet potato vines don’t seem to be growing much at all. I’ve yanked it all down. Maybe get the beds ready for broccoli/collards kale. Sun scald and an invasion of pest just did me in this year. I do have some long paprika peppers dried and roasted chili’s

[@crystalclear1969]

Good morning from Wisconsin

Good morning!

[@FireflyHomestead]

Lost our peppers and the last of the tomatoes to a critter in our garden. We will need to come up with a better solution for a garden fence.

[@conniedavidson1807]

Hi Jill. It has been a while since you posted. Sorry to hear you and Greg have been ill. My daughter has had that stuff twice this year. Your peppers look so big and green, Most of my garden has burned up or been eaten up with grasshoppers. The only things still living are growing in shade.

[@ntxg]

Ugh I’m so sorry Connie! 🙏🏻🥹

[@random2829]

I hope that all of this talk about "contamination" and "recalls" would motivate people to "grow their own" or form a "co-op" where one grows one type of spice, someone else grows another, etc., so that we have local "pure" food sources. Yes, I know there are problems with that - also some environments are not capable of growing "everything" we need, but we need to start somewhere. I also feel that a lot of these "contamination" stories are used to cover up "shortages".

[@Waltzonthemoon]

We have army worms, i hope we got the hay cut before they invaded to bad. Sorry about Greg. I’ve had a foot surgery and husband has had 2 colon surgeries and still having issues. Take care neighbor

[@ntxg]

I know we’ve had army worms too. You need to use BT.

[@EdimentalGardens]

This summer has been one of the coolest that I can remember

[@carolynmoody9460]

❤❤❤ 🕊️

[@k.p.1139]

I'm thinking we are getting bad seeds. None of my BL have grown in years. I got bad watermelon seeds. Grew 3 20+ pound watermelon's and you could tell they were cross pollinated, and tasted terrible. Not crossed here, where ever they were grown.

[@ntxg]

Will be sending you some melon seeds in the next week

[@suemeself6995]

What's the difference between freeze drying and using the dehydrator? Do you find one is better than the other?

[@ntxg]

Freeze drying maintains 99% of the nutritional value in the taste. Dehydrating maintains about 80% but girl it works for me too. I do both.
