Stranger: You grow how many pepper plants?
Me: (thinking) Last year I had about... 60.
Stranger: (jaw drops to the ground) What???

It's fascinating what people find strange. 60 pepper plants in one backyard can't be fathomed yet buying and eating ultra-processed foods that slowly kill you is completely normal. It would seem as though our society has it's priorities backwards, but I digress. What were we talking about? Ah yes, the peppers.
Pepper seeds were just planted for the 2023 growing season and I'm currently starting 72 of them. By the time they germinate and start growing there'll probably be around 60 plants again, maybe more. What's one to do with all of these peppers?
