12-15 chopped Bell Peppers of various sizes, dehydrated, reduced down to a pint. So basically 1 tablespoon from the jar, added to a sauce or other recipe, is equal to maybe just over half of one chopped pepper. #preserving #gardenstr

Turns out my decision to pull all of the tomatoes yesterday was just in time. Damn, it’s too early in the year for this. View quoted note →

Space junk.

The #madring in Madrid, España, home of this weekend’s #f1 spectacle. A new track in the circuit, it is like Monaco on steroids. Heavy braking zones, tight esses, and absolutely unforgiving guard walls. In order to post top times in this track, drivers are necessarily required to routinely rub their tire side walls on the track wall on certain corners. And on most corners, maintain a credit card width between their car tires and the wall.  should be an interesting day tomorrow. Lando Norris on pole, with #Antonelli sharing the front row with him. 

Dicing and dehydrating peppers for placement in evacuated jars with oxygen absorbers. 

Not a bad yield off 4 Bell Pepper plants in 3 gallon pots. #gardenstr

90lb of tomatoes off 4 plants. I did 12 plants, ultimately ran with the 4 strongest ones in pots, and one in a bed with unlimited root space. The single plant in the bed yielded 60lb. The four in pots produced 30lb. We are getting down into single-digit overnight temperatures so these are going to need to ripen indoors. Bananas release ethylene gas which speeds ripening. Had my first toasted tomato sandwich for breakfast. Normally this happens in July. Cold, wet and cloudy year. #gardenstr

Find friends that leave their phones in their trucks when you’re sitting around the fire.

MSM coverage of 9/11 and the bot filled comments sections on their online outlets makes me sick. These media outlets are as guilty as the American government and the US three letter agency-enabled perps that carried out these acts.

Nice view over the #gardenstr
