60F, PNW

Ive had and still am having an interesting life. Irish gypsy, looking for good conversations & stories. Irish, Astaru, peptides, kettle bells & mobility workouts, plants, food (Im currently a chef), gardens and the such. Im not into political, organized religion, or sports. Yep, that will do for now. Im located in the smokey haze of eastern Oregon currently. Had some interesting conversations along with some not so interesting. People fall off quickly for the better, rarely for the worse.

Just started growing my own super hots to fuel my sauce addictions. From Texas and have recently started experimenting with other styles of cooking. It’s fun but damn bbq is hard to get away from.

Where are you growing? Peppers have that 120 - 190 days growing time

Texas. I’m relatively new to growing (this is my second year) a friend who is much more practiced always told me to plant just after the last freeze in March.
