    Such a great harvest. We are in the disaster area in North Carolina and getting ready to evacuate. We have been told that it may be several months before electric is restored. Although most of my canning was done, I will lose all my freezers. I will have to live vicariously through you and others. Thank you for giving me a little space today by watching this video and enjoying the harvest.

    For the hot peppers you can try to transplant them in to vases, and store them in the house until the complete ripening😉
    The hot peppers plant aren't annual, if you store them inside in the winter, the next year you have only to prune them and you have already a fully grown plant that the second year produce more😉

    Another reason for growing several varieties of anything is that you increase your chances of success.
    Any one year could be a struggle for one or more of the varieties. But, with many varieties, it's unlikely that all will fail.

    The trick to getting rid of the burning from peppers is to drink milk if your mouth is burning and to use rub yogurt on your hands and let it sit for a few minutes. Water doesn't get rid of the burning but can make it worse.

It was the best raisin bread ever. I remember making bread with her from the time I was a little girl all the way up until the year she died and she passed the tradition on to my daughter too. I know how to make her bread and I follow her directions exactly but I think her hands just gave it extra flavor that I can't give it. 😂 She passed away at age 96 a year and a half ago. I miss her and our bread making adventures, but I have her raisin bread recipe framed on my kitchen wall ❤

    Dan should drink milk or yoghurt mixed with some water and a pinch of salt to neutralise the pepper heat. We eat very spicy food in Pakistan and normally have milk or yoghurt based drinks called lassi with them to make the spices milder.

    Poor Dan, his mouth really was on fire after eating that pepper. But at the same time, it was really hilarious.😂 Especially because Chelsea thought he would take a little nibble instead of a big bite. I'm curious how long his mouth was on fire. 😅
    Congratulations on your amazing harvest! ❤ What a blessing to harvest so much produce, and still many more to come.
    It is also a huge blessing that you are able to gift food to family and friends, especially since fresh organic produce are so expensive.
    I hope you were able to enjoy a few more days of your picked flowers inside the house. It's always so sad when frost kills the flowers. Especially when there is a huge abundance of them.

    Dan should have drank milk instead of water after sampling that habanero.

    I'm sad, too. Hate to see the flower's die.

    Your sunflowers are breathtaking. I love your garden. I’m also sad for your frost. I’m in Minnesota and the forecast doesn’t have frost for quite some time. I hope it is correct. It usually isn’t. I still have lots of green tomatoes. I’m going to really miss your garden videos this winter.
