The green/yellow ones are immature Santa Fe peppers, add a nice flavor and a fair amount of heat to whatever you dice them up in (scrambled eggs this morning). They turn reddish orange eventually, get more flavor, but the heat's there even in the early light green stage. A lot of these would have turned orange in the next couple weeks, but I'd rather have them this way than ruined by frost; it was close to that a couple days last week, didn't want to take the chance; this was all of them. Some of these will ripen just sitting there; any that start getting soft, I'll clean and freeze, they're just fine for cooking that way.

 

My garden kind of sucked this year too wet, got good taters, celery and a but load of carrots.

 

This is why I don't ride in salt. Guy said it was in nice condition till he rode through last winter. I can see it happening on the one I have; that Russian paint cracks, ain't prepped worth a darn, water gets under it and it just flakes off. Doesn't look to me like they even used any primer. New ones are powder coated, but this one wasn't. He's selling it all cheaper than I've seen used 650 motors (this has a 750) on ebay. Only reason I don't get it is because I don't have room for the sidecar and he won't split it up. I'd go through that 750 motor and stick it in my frame, have way better carbs, electric starter, and dual seat. Could probably sandblast the rest and just put the whole thing back together, be a lot of work. Would probably have to replace most of the nuts and bolts and build a new wiring harness, too. I'd try it if I had more room.

If the daughter wasn't staying with me through the winter, it'd be a living room project. Next to a Harley, and a Honda in the dining area... Gonna be a garage or nothing this winter. Sidecar in the shed, dirt bike in the basement, gonna have bike bits everywhere. Gonna let the daughter park her car in the grudge, I don't wanna be out there scraping snow and ice off it. There's a 25' enclosed trailer for sale near here, $3500. Has a front drop ramp, a drive on, drive off rig. Tempting... all the bikes, even the hack, would fit in it.

 

I plant "biggest bang for the buck" crops now. Tomatoes, peppers, and squash usually give me enough to have some still in the freezer when the next crop is ripening, and they ain't cheap in the store anymore. Tried celery, just didn't grow well. Used to get good broccoli, but last 3 or 4 attempts got zero results, just big leaves. Doesn't take many Swiss chard and collard greens to give me all I can eat in summer, and lose some 'cause I don't get it picked and in the freezer fast enough to keep up with it. Gardens take a lot of work, and next year I'm planning on just a few peppers and tomatoes, just throw beans or something in the rest to till under in the fall; try to catch up on other stuff next year instead.

 

Yea my maters didn't do to well this year, the whole area got root rot. Everything was going good then, WHAM, the plants just died salvaged what I could but no where near the amount of tomatoes I normally get. Oh well just won't be giving a bunch away this year.
