sweet potatoes with almost no leaves because of deer

sweet potatoes with almost no leaves because of deer

1980-07-14 14.22.12This is my Edamame.  I looked forward to trying the fishing line idea to keep out the deer but apparently the deer at LMU think it’s a special invitation to them to eat stuff.  They obviously just carefully stick their heads in and chomp away.  I really hope it doesn’t effect our harvest.

Aji Dulce peppers

Aji Dulce peppers are my new love.  They are sweet spicy not hot.  They are used in Cuban and Puerto Rican dishes.  I’ve got a Puerto Rican cookbook and have been trying them in those recipes.  UMMMMM!!!!  I also made a watermelon salad from the Food and Wine site and added these peppers HEAVEN!!
