I'm sick of.....peas! What are you sick of?
Peas, peas, peas, and more peas.
Every 3-4 days, I have at least 13 gallons of peas to pick, shell, wash, blanch, and freeze. Do this every year, but seem to have a lot more than usual. Not really sick of them, but they (& the work mostly) are getting rather *old*. LOL. Was even seeing them in my sleep last night...go figure! What have you had excess of in your garden this year that you are *sick* of? Rae |

Every 3-4 days, I have at least 13 gallons of peas to pick, shell,
wash, blanch, and freeze. We're not doing anything on that scale, but we do have lots of hot peppers (about 2 dozen plants, roughly, most of which are bearing well). And, you see, one doesn't put very much hot pepper in each dish. My boyfriend assures me that we'll just have more to freeze this way. I'm wondering whether he is planning on activating the currently unused basement chest freezer just for his peppers :-). As for peas, we planted only a short row of edible pod peas (reduces the shelling, at least). Next year I'll grow more if I can think of where to put them. |

So I can freeze the extras to cook off-season. But this year, it just seems to be too much....maybe because of the fact we have 2 babies this year, instead of just the one, so garden time is more limited....

You can make hot pepper vingar...if y'all like hot sauces...
I have put up 6 quart jars of it so far with my extra cayennes. So do you need to cook this and seal the jars (can them)? I tried to figure it out from Stocking Up and I mostly got confused. I probably should figure out the whole canning thing but when I read up about high acid, low acid, vinegar, salt, etc, etc, etc, I can get overwhelmed (and not always sure which advice applies in a given situation). our peas are crowders & black eyes varieties. Ah, OK. That makes sense when I think of them being harvested this far into the summer. I tried to clarify things in my mind by researching the kinds of peas/beans in the world. Some of the more common a Vigna - cowpea, crowder peas, (one kind is black eye peas), and others (warm weather, drought tolerant) Pisum - green pea, split pea, etc (a cool weather crop). Includes sugar snap peas & similar Phaseolus - green beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, and others (a warm weather crop) (there's a table partway down at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bean ). There are other edible legumes too which aren't one of the above (soy beans, chickpeas, etc). |

All I do is wash the peppers, and place them whole in a glass or plastic jar. Old mayo jars & peanut butter containers work. Then pour vinegar (i use cider vinegar) in the container until full. Place in cupboard or fridge. No need to seal. The jars will keep for as long as the vinegar keeps. (quite a while!) our peas are crowders & black eyes varieties. Ah, OK.

Of course, the production rate will taper down before then. |
