I like to get the fava harvest done as soon as possible in the spring so I've been growing extra early producers - Extra Precoce (early) Violetto and Extra Precoce Bianco are Italian varieties that I get from Gourmet Seed International. One dries to a violet seed and the other to a "white" seed, but in Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-18337983592933760972014-09-22T18:58:00.483-07:002014-09-22T18:58:00.483-07:00I haven't done that with any of the peppers ye...I haven't done that with any of the peppers yet this year, but I will, they kept really well last year and were delicious. You know, it took probably a good 10 years before we finally pried the pocketbook open and made the investment in the BGE, but I'm really glad we did. I'm really liking that puppy and haven't really even started to explore all the possibilities. So, what are Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-21833029643763898122014-09-22T18:20:11.849-07:002014-09-22T18:20:11.849-07:00As always, I'm in awe of your gardening prowes...As always, I'm in awe of your gardening prowess. This summer was a bit of a "wash" for me. I was hugely busy with work, and home projects. The garden kind of languished. Sigh...<br /><br />I wonder if you could suggest a variety of fava beans? We stupidly planted the kind used as cover crops, which grew like crazy and tasted pretty awful. Any recommendations?

That inspired me to try some smaller thick-walled peppers that might ripen early, like Lipstick.My gas grill is a Weber Baby Q and it doesn't seem to have enough oomph to char peppers. Does that mean I should upgrade?

I plan on roasting and freezing most of mine for salsas and soups this winter. <br /><br />What I wouldn't give for a nice strawberry harvest like that. I planted good number of crowns this year so hopefully we will get a bumper crop next June.
