MN Transplant Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 There you go - I said there was probably a simple answer! It really isn't going to be very often though. April and October are basically the months that it could happen at DCA. IAD can freeze into May, so that gives them a better opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 They only have two seasons there. 9 months of winter and 3 months of poor skiing. Went with friends to Snowshoe over President's Day a few years ago, and there was no snow on the mountain except for the man-made stuff on the slopes. And I think we got mix-to-light-rained on during the trip, too. Absolutely horrible. Of course, we've had more trips with plenty of snow than not, but that year was a joke.

mattie g Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 In the fall of 2009, cedar waxwings picked my holly tree clean over two days. In 2010, robins ate their fill over the course of 10 days or so. In 2011 and 2012, nothing bothered to feed on the holly. This year, nothing. Bad omen...

WVclimo Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Does anyone have a recipe for pepper sauce? I've got a lot of hot and sweet peppers that I'm taking off the plants this afternoon, and I'd like to put them to good use.A real simple recipe is to bring a couple of cups of vinegar, a tablespoon or so of sugar, a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of olive oil to a boil. Then pour it over the sliced, seeded peppers (about 15 of them) in a canning jar. Give it at least a few days, and you're good to go.You can add other ingredients that you like, either onion powder and garlic salt, or cumin and garlic which is also good.

I just got done stripping the plants of the remaining peppers so I'll be busy this weekend. I've got two full grocery bags of sweet peppers, of which about half are the banana variety.

With that many, you can also try freezing some. There are different methods, depending on how you will eventually be using them.

An old PA Dutch thing is hot pepper vinegar. You simply go with 1 teaspoon of salt per 2 cups of vinegar with as many peppers as you think you can handle, then boil the vinegar for about 2-3 minutes. Put the mixture in a blender and blend until smooth. Might want to open windows when you are doing that. It's simple and great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
