The bulk of the spice gets vacuum sealed in jars and stored in the freezer. A very small amount of peppers are frozen since the freeze/thaw cycle destroys long term foods with lots of water content in them. Fresh peppers are used for just about everything.
>>1314521>>1314526>>1314529>>1314535I've been gardening for over 30 years and wouldn't call myself a "master gardener" unless I earned an actual college degree in it. Does he have such a degree? If so then he can say that with impunity. Seems like there are no degrees for that specifically and only some certificate programs for students.
Gardening isn't hard at all, if you have proper knowledge, tools, and methods. As with all work in life, if it is, "hard," you are probably doing something wrong. Because there's always a tool and/or method to make it easier.
>sun all dayI'm out in the sun all day most of the time too. I wear a giant sombrero like this one (actually bought off ebay from that same person.) They are amazing. I painted the top of mine white to further cool off my head. I always work facing the sun so that as I bend down more of the hat's shadow covers my body. Because it is so huge, I don't get a redneck.
