Pears and hot peppers! Sometimes even together:
It’s really nice having cooler days. It’s making gardening fun again. And the pears! They are wonderful. We’ve preserved 8 5-gallon buckets of them so far. The peppers are overflowing as well, and look like they’ll just keep rolling until winter.
You can have greener thumbs by this weekend!

Hi there, I enjoyed your book Grow or Die and enjoy watching your videos. Question about fava beans–quoting from Nourishing Traditions “Fava beans contain a substance, which is not neutralized by soaking, sprouting or fermenting, that can cause a type of life-threatening anemia in persons with an inherited susceptibility and therefore best avoided.” Have you heard anything about this, any thoughts? My husband has fava beans coming up right now!
Yes, I have heard about it. I wouldn’t worry about it unless you come from the Mediterranean. It is a rare genetic condition. Some people also die from allergies to peanuts, wasp stings, etc. It’s a small risk.
