Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 Judi, Do you sun dry the peppers? I wound up freezing the hot peppers I was given, but I¹d love to try drying them. I dry herbs by just hanging them, but I¹ve never tried peppers. I planted my herb garden next to the hot tub and they grew all winter. But we had a very mild winter, snow only once. I doubt I¹ll be so lucky this year. a > I picked a bunch of Ron's hot peppers, > and will dry them this weekend.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Heidi! This is great! My daughter (Ami, my 29 year old I told you about), her " procedures " all check out fine now! Doctor told her also, " Start trying again...best chance is NOW. " So would be wonderful if you and she both, have success at the same time!

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Susie, Rosemary is my favorite too. Would you believe I only learned about rosemary about 2 years ago? Rosemary potatoes are easy to make and very good. I haven¹t tried moving any, so I don¹t know about transplanting. Mine are all outside, but not near the hot tub, so I doubt they will survive the winter. But they will be back in the spring. I¹ll see about covering I with the hay. Thanks for the tips. I¹m looking forward to trying the hair rinse! a > a, it does get COLD here on Coastal GA.
