I planted one milkweed this year and we have some growing wild, but no monarchs seem to have found them yet.<br /><br />I feel your pain on the hot peppers literally. I learned to always wear gloves. And another thing learned the hard way, holey (not holy) gloves will let the bad pepper juju in too! I do think all the hot peppers in the stir fry would have me wimping out for sure.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-18117154847640410162017-08-07T16:07:06.203-04:002017-08-07T16:07:06.203-04:00Yup, gloves next time.

I guess the customer is on a 'need to know' basis. Nice harvests all around. This is the first year in a while that I've gone without Diva cucumbers as one after another failed, and I miss 'em. Kudos on the monarchs.gardenvariety-hoosierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823437033502199023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-60418294552511870992017-08-07T08:26:08.771-04:002017-08-07T08:26:08.771-04:00So cool to see the caterpillars!
