HARVEST REPORT – 2006
A Great Year! Why am I so late again in delivering the
Harvest Report? I wanted to wait until
the Chile Pepper Tour Movie was posted to the Harvest 2005 Report (since
removed) and then I got really busy starting the 2007 seeds etc.
2006 was a pretty good year!

What's an annual gardening blog
without venting on a gripe? This
year's gripe: Traffic Frustration
caused by Donut Addiction. For my day-job
I get to drive north on Harlem Avenue in the morning and about two blocks
south of Archer Avenue on Harlem Avenue there is a Dunkin Donuts which 'all
too often' has traffic backing up because cars are ten-deep waiting to be
served in the Drive-Thru. Have we
really come to this? Needing a donut
and a cup of coffee so bad that you're going to make traffic back up on
Harlem Avenue during RUSH HOUR because your car is sticking out in the street
because the Drive Thru Line is so LONG?
Where is the sense in delaying people's commutes and compounding the frustration
of bumper-to-bumper traffic jams? Even
if you're picking up a couple dozen donuts for the whole crew at work it's
not worth the extra pollution produced by everyone's cars while they wait for
the Java-n-Donut Drive Thru Commuter to inch up to that window. Please, if the drive thru line is already
backed up to the street that day, don't get in that line and tie up traffic
during RUSH Hour. Skip the donut(s)
that day! Your arteries will thank
you. Instead, take the time before you
leave for work that morning to make some toast with hot pepper jelly or
pickled chiles for the road. YUM!
Ah! Behold the beauty of
peppers ready to roast. The watering
and weeding is done. The slicing is
done. Seize the smoker! Prep the Hot Sauce Pot! Let's do some canning!
Wahooooooooo!
Ah, the first ripe Orozco of
the season!
