We all know how much we consume daily, especially when it comes to food and power.
 What I want to know is how many of us produce some of the things we consume. We use solor panels for our power and have a garden with many edible goodies. Every bit helps! Do you hunt or raise your own meat, have a garden or fruit trees, use solor panels or a wind turbine, etc.? We would love to hear about it! -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Weather has been changing so the garden is starting to slow down and getting ready for harvest time.
I have to remind Timmy that he doesn't want to handle these peppers, as they are known to even blister the skin with contact.  I will wait till they turn orange or red before picking them unless there is an early frost.
No signs of bugs eating on this plant..  I will definately enjoy them!
