Blessed Acres Farm

Wear gloves! Saving cayenne seeds for drying. When mature, Scotch Bonnets next. Michael, a nod to your friend.

We use a small greenhouse each Spring for hardening off seedlings. We left it up for hot peppers since they need a longer season and-heat. Scotch bonnets and this first ripe cayenne.

After four years of unseasonably cool Augusts, looking forward to a hot, ripening 8th month this year!

Reason for a little contest? It’s The Sara’s Birthday Contest! Name this flower’s plant and win a collection of Heirloom Organic Seeds for next season’s garden. Rules: name it in this post; first and second to correctly identify by August 13th at noon (est) wins! Winners announced by first name here and pm’ed for mailing info. Bless!
