Congratulations on being named Farmer of the Day! Love the photos! I'm a big fan of peppers and homemade spicy powders.

I have one that my kids have named "PH" which they tell me stands for 'Powdered Hell.'

The weather is not cooperating. We have some seedlings in the ground, but the heavy rains are really beating them down. Keeping our fingers crossed. :) Thanks for the congrats.

I have finally planted my garden. I hope the weather in Akron is cooperating for you to get your garden started.

Have a great book keeper/Mom day.

The garden is almost done. Just hoping to get enough sunlight to help the paprikas turn red. I am hoping to get enough for another jar of sweet paprika. We still have 3 eggplants, about 10 tomatoes, 7 paprikas, 6 baby bells, 5 green bells, and various hot peppers left. Giving them until this weekend and then it's all over. But, all in all, it's been a very successful season!!!
