Looking great Jimmy! They are really pretty plants, especially when all the peppers are different colors. Very cool to see this
 
Happy Father's day to all the dads. Also, many of us are celebrating fathers that are no longer here with us. Many Blessings and love to all of them as well.
 
I was drilling/cutting and using motar today...The structure is taking shape ..I think next week it all goes in the tubs for 30 days in the dark with a rock or two from the 300 to seed them
Wonderful. Thanks for this. I wish I could see one in person. But this works as well.
 
Todays episode of cooking with Kevin, its a makeshift Jambalaya. No Andouille sausage, just Conecuh sausage. no Rotel diced tomatoes, using regular diced tomatoes and a young cow horn pepper for green pepper flavor. Not shown, 2 cups of chicken broth

I haven’t had brojol for ever , my wife’s cousin made it. For those who don’t know, flank steak pounded thin , covered in garlic, bread crumbs and cheese. It’s rolled and cooks in the sauce.
