In that bed I had several different varieties. Jalepeno, Poblano, and habanero.
We had a fairly mild winter here in iowa. I have what appear to be some volunteer pepper plants coming up in the garden. It will be interesting to see what they produce if anything.

Square is the furthest thing from a freedom loving company. They suspended my account multiple times (tied up my money for weeks) and then eventually banned my bank account so I couldn't reopen my account because they felt I was engaging in "prohibited" activities since I offer engraving on firearms and parts.
Brisket coming off the smoker tonight to rest overnight in the cooler.

I zapped a hotdog in the microwave. Lol.
Today's recipe is my creamy Hearts of Palm salad, for those of you looking to avoid starches in your side dishes at your summer BBQs, this is a great substitute for potato salad (not smelly like cauliflower versions)! Hope you enjoy.

Spring means asparagus. I planted 5 crowns a out 10 years ago. They've spread and seeded quite a bit and we get a nice harvest of spears several times a week. Wrapped in crispy prosciutto and served with some New York Strips.

That's a great idea for crushing the char. 👍👍
Quick cucumber "kimchi". Super easy and absolutely delicious.
Slice 1 cucumber. Handful of chopped carrots. Toss with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt. Let sit in strainer over the sink for 20-30 minutes to get rid of some of the water.
For the sauce:
1.5 T gochugaru flakes
1 T sweetener of choice (I used brown allulose)
2 T fish sauce or oyster sauce (I used oyster)
1.5-2 T avocado oil
2 cloves garlic finely chopped.
1.5-2 T rice wine vinegar
2 T soy sauce or coconut aminos
Sesame seeds.
(Amounts vary based on the size of cucumber and carrots)
After the carrots and cucumbers have drained, toss them to combine with the sauce. Add sesame seeds to taste Let sit in the fridge for a few hours.
Serve to a grateful world.

My first time incubating chicken eggs. Got about half to hatch, which I think is pretty good considering I ordered them online and they were shipped.

The Backyard Bowyer on YouTube has some good videos on making pvc bows.
His bow is one that I made from a piece of pvc pipe with a fiberglass rod inside for stiffness. It actually shoots really well, has about a 20 pound draw weight. It's great for him to learn on.
Selfbows that I've made in the past have typically been in the style of plains Indian bows. Fairly short and light. I really like the look of the Mongolian style bows but don't have any experience with them.
Spent some time last evening outside practicing my cordage making from milkweed while the youngest practiced with his bow. Overall a very good time.

Was kind of surprised to see this fella out in the open on such a cold and dreary day (low 40s F)
