Hmmmppppffffhhhh!
Still pumpkins to me.
Come to think of it, I don't know a single person who uses Jack-o-lanterns.
So obviously that won't be what I talk about. I don't do carved up pumpkins anymore anyways. My kids are too old to enjoy it, so why bother? I live vicariously through others.
This time I want to show you something I have to have. Can't live without it, so I grow my own.
I love spicy food, and specifically cooking with hot peppers. The store closest to me doesn't always have a decent selection of hot peppers, so I decided to tackle growing them myself.
I have a bit of a green thumb and figured it wouldn't be too hard. (Keep in mind I have no yard to garden in, only my jungle that used to be a living room.)
I was right too!
They are easy to grow, and I have yielded enough to pass around to my friends as well. Though not too many, I don't ever want to be without.
The only other food resource I grow is parsley. Grows like a weed and is also really easy to grow. I don't use it too often, but it is nice to always have on hand.
What food resources do you grow??

I am exactly the opposite in that I never do jalepenos and I love jack-o-lanterns.
ReplyDeleteExcellent choice for J! Although I can't eat too many of them. My newest addition to my garden this year, is that I'm growing herbs inside my small greenhouse, and a pick of surprises (mixed several goodies together, and the squash is up already!
ReplyDeleteNow as an adult, I tend to spice up everything I eat. If I have pizza, I usually spice it up with some jalapenos or red pepper flakes.
ReplyDeleteAlthough there are many foods I would love to eat, my stomach does not share my desires to indulge in the spicy. I do understand the urge to toss a bit of heat into some foods, it just seems to enhance all the other flavors of the dish. Oh well, at least I can still smell the lovely aromas!
ReplyDeleteJalapeño peppers are yummy in many foods, but I won't work with them after experiencing the burn that the oil causes to my hands. lol Great "J" post. Great to meet you and thanks for stopping by!

I have no green thumb and can hardly keep a plant alive, so I don't grow anything but I've always like fresh fruits especially strawberries.
ReplyDeletethanks for your visit, hope you have a sweet day.
I am a wuss when it comes to hot peppers but I am growing tomatoes and cucumbers and a green pepper plant finally has a flower on it :)
ReplyDeleteWe love hot peppers. They grow quite easily here in AZ as well.
ReplyDeleteHerbs are something I always try and grow. It's nice to throw a sprinkle into a bland dish.
This was just a fun link for the letter "J".
Thanks for sharing it.
A+
I love jalepenos and hot foods...but I can only eat a little bit of hot...and even if it is a little bit, I get beads of perspiration on my nose! I am a wimp, but still do love it.
ReplyDeleteI hope to have a little raised garden next summer. and I want to grow some herbs inside too.
Blessings & Aloha!
Jumping for Joy! I am finally catching up to some of my "J" visits! Please come by if you have a chance.
Good to know they're easy to grow
