Today’s Friday night Pizza Pepper Pick is the 7-Pot Heatless, as the name implies it's a heatless variety of 7-Pot that looks almost identical to a Primo. It keeps the floral flavor of the hotter varieties, just with none of the capsaicin. Beautiful flavor and perfection on pizza!

If you love growing or eating Hatch chiles, you're already feeling the effects of anthropogenic climate change.
The New Mexico Chile Association has issued a supply update warning of chile shortages ranging from 20% to 50% across the board. The crop has faced challenging growing conditions, specifically due to unusually warm nighttime temperatures throughout the summer harvest season that left plants stressed and unable to produce an expected second harvest. The association is urging industry partners to communicate directly with suppliers regarding forecasts and inventory to help navigate these shortfalls.

The benefit of letting the flowers grow wild is you get visitors like this. Ruby throated hummingbird!

This week’s pizza pepper pick is the Aji Fantasy. Crispy and fruity with a heat level around a jalapeño. Use it in stir fries, pickled, and of course as a pizza topping. We also use it in our Thai Salsa recipe! Available tomorrow, at Tuscaloosa River Market! #pizza #peppers #tuscaloosa #alabam

We need help finding sport pepper seeds. Any Chicago style hot dog fans or gardeners who can help? My understanding is that they are just a variety of serrano that is more slender and less hot. #Chicago #Peppers #Gardening #HotDogs

It's supposed to be another 100°F day. The pepper plants have dropped most of their flowers so I expect harvests to gwt drastically smaller for the next month or so. #Allotment #Gardening

Look at the beautiful pigment of our Aji Guyana powder. Did you know that all our spice blends have our locally grown peppers crafted lovingly from start to finish, all the way from seed to fruit to powder! Dehydrated gently and processed, it's what makes our blends special & nothing goes to waste.

A common question this year was how do I keep my cilantro alive? In the AL summer heat, you can't. Cilantro is not a heat loving plant, that's why we grow cilantro early and late, and use a slow bolt variety to keep our plants alive longer. Once bolted the taste is 😝

Did some sowing yesterday. This time I used potting soil in a 50 cell tray, planted the seeds and topped off with peat moss, a cheaper solution than using all seed start soil! These varieties usually sprout pretty easily, so we'll see how it goes.

Banana legs tomatoes, a funny name for a gorgeous tomato! They start out with green and light green stripes that fade as they ripen. They have dense flesh, with little seed pulp. A new fun one to grow, seeds from Alliance of Native Seed Keepers

When life gives you garlic scapes, garlic scape aioli! We grew garlic for the first time this year and let's just say lots of garlic recipes to come! I used about 8 scapes to a cup of mayo/Greek yogurt which may sound like a lot but the garlic flavor is much milder than a clove!
