    That would be awesome! It actually gets too hot for my peppers by July so they will stop producing anything until end of Aug.

    I've been doing a lot of research on permaculture, hugekultur and sustainable agriculture in general so I just want to experiment and see what happens...Maybe go pro.

    I tried potatoes last year but we got so much rain that it killed them. I was afraid of that happening this year as well. Hungarian peppers do amazing in the heat. I picked 3 gallons in a weeks time. Froze gallon bags and used them all year.

    My family used to do a lot of our own food when I was a kid, but we kind of just stopped doing it.
