Top 5 Peppers of ALL TIME. All grown from MIgardener seeds. You know where to find them 😆
1. Emerald Giant Bell - quite literally the most massive bell peppers I have ever seen. It’s honestly almost a joke how massive they get. Huge. Crisp, sweet, very little “green” flavor.
2. Cal Wonder Bell - Productive and so reliable. It’s the household name for peppers. Sweet, green to red pepper, disease resistant, and produces through all conditions.
3. Fresno chili - sweet to heat, productive, so versatile in the kitchen. Roasted, pickled, or eaten fresh. This won’t burn your face off but provides such an amazing balance of flavor.
4. Tam JalapeĂąo - easily one of the most productive jalapeĂąos we have ever grown. Long and chunky making them ideal for stuffing, grilling, slicing, and pickling. They are a must-grow every year.
5. Big Jim - A grilling pepper with very little heat, but a HUGE size. These peppers regularly will grow to be 10-12 inches long!!! They are so good grilled, but we use them in everything. This is a seriously amazing pepper.

N is for 🌚 nocturnal! 🌛
This week we’re offering a bonus ABC’s of Ohio Nature post! Today, the letter N is for nocturnal! Nocturnal is a broad word when it comes to the natural world but today, we’re looking at it from a plant’s view. Some plants flower at night, such as saguaro cactuses or evening primrose, usually because its blooming coincides with their primary pollinators’ schedule. A fascinating Ohio example is eastern prairie fringed orchid (Platanthera leucophaea).
It’s true that this orchid technically blooms during the day as well, but at dusk these large orchids begin to emit a sweet aroma to attract large moths like sphinx and hawk moths. Studies have shown the Pandorous sphinx to be one its most frequent visitor.
These nighttime moths have a proboscis (tongue) long enough to access the flower’s nectar spur for a treat while hopefully connecting with the pollinia. The pollinia, an orchid’s pollen sac, attaches to the moth’s eye(s) and with luck, it is deposited on another orchid’s column structure for pollination to occur.
For wildflower fans, it’s amazing to witness this rare and stunning orchid in flower during the day, but it’s even more incredible to catch its floral scent as it wafts across the wet prairie at sunset.

I've recently started heating up beach rocks and wrapping them in towels and giving them to the kids for in their bed at night.
They absolutely love them.
It's a bit of a joke in our house about it being time to get your rock. Lol
The rocks stay warm all night, it's pretty amazing.
200°F is a good temperature to heat the rocks upto. Caution as you can burn yourself if they are not wrapped up enough.
300°F is WAY TOO HOT. I'd say out right dangerous.

One acre of h**p produces 25 % more oxygen than one acre of forest and guarantees a cellulose supply that is approximately twice as high.
One acre of h**p grows within 6 months, while a forest grows for decades before it is harvested.
By making h**p paper, we could save millions of hectares of forest every year.
H**p can be used in textile production, construction and even as biofuel.

The presence of Giant Ragw**d can feel overwhelming, especially in mid to late summer. This picture shows Giant Ragw**d at 13 feet tall this past July. This native plant holds positive attributes that are rarely mentioned. Besides the native insects it supports, the seeds are greatly relished by overwintering native birds. At this park called Otto Armleader park in southwest Ohio, the flood plain holds great populations of this plant. And because of its seed production, it's an excellent place for birders to see various species throughout the year. When I went with a birder friend, we saw Purple Finches in the winter time eating the Giant Ragw**d Seeds.

The leaves of Giant Ragw**d are rough when mature, but are edible and could be dried, powdered and consumed as an ingredient in soups by humans. The seeds are boiled to extract their oil by Indigenous Peoples, and the seeds themselves are also edible to humans, boasting a 47% protein ratio in the seeds. This could be a major, native seed crop for human food in the future if it weren't only looked at as a w**d. Some people are allergic to the pollen, in the same way that people are allergic to Corn and Wheat pollen during the blooms of those crops.

With Giant Ragw**d being forced to evolve by modern agriculture applying excessive herbicides - creating resistance in Ragw**ds colonizing farm fields; the rise of herbicide resistant Ragw**d is already happening. It's time to look at Giant Ragw**d's edible vegetation as human and efficient livestock fodder (such as for chicken, rabbit, or fish) along with their seeds as human food and develop this amazing native plant for ecology, climate change adaptation, and human food supply.

Bunnies can't understand HOW humans can eat them. With each bite they consume so much suffering... To butcher a rabbit is cruel, and CRUEL food products should be ILLEGAL!

Please read to help spread awareness. Bunnies CANNOT eat cat food.
This morning, we received an urgent message about a bunny who had gotten into his cat food and had eaten some of it overnight.
Cat food, high in protein and fat, is incredibly harmful to a rabbit's digestive system. It wreaks havoc on their liver and pancreas. It also leads to life threatening conditions like GI stasis and bloat.
In this bunny’s case, his blood glucose skyrocketed to 450 (rabbit blood glucose should stay between 70-100). He also had severe bloat and had been in stasis for hours. Things weren’t looking good and we rushed him to our emergency vet.
X-rays revealed his stomach was dangerously full of gas and food - so much so that we feared his stomach might rupture. Since rabbits cannot vomit, he needed emergency surgery, but he was far too unstable for anesthesia. While our veterinary team worked to stabilize him with fluids, pain relief, and by carefully removing some of the gas with a needle, his little body couldn’t hold on. He passed away. Despite every single medical intervention and our best efforts, we lost him.
His loss is a devastating reminder that rabbits cannot be allowed to eat cat food. Even a piece or 2. People often think it’s funny if their rabbit snatches a piece of cat food and runs off, but it’s not funny. It can be fatal.
Foods meant for other animals, like cats or dogs, aren’t just unhealthy…they’re deadly.
Mistakes can be fatal. Keep your cat food off the floor and tightly closed.
Rabbits are both curious and opportunistic eaters, and it only takes a second for them to get into something dangerous.
Let’s honor this little guy by spreading awareness to help keep others safe. He is a stark reminder as to how cat food cat hurt bunnies. This could have been prevented. His life mattered, and his story can save others.

Growing Kiwi Trees at Home: A Guide for Pot Cultivation
1. Select a Variety: Choose a dwarf variety of kiwi suitable for container growing.
2. Prepare Supplies: Get a large pot (20-30 gallons) with drainage holes, a trellis or support system, well-draining potting mix, slow-release fertilizer, and a watering system.
3. Planting:
Install the trellis or support in the pot.
Fill the pot with potting mix.
Plant the kiwi, ensuring roots are spread out and not crowded.
4. Care:
Place in a spot that receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Water regularly to keep the soil moist.
Fertilize in early spring and mid-summer.
Prune in winter to manage size and shape, and in summer to ensure light reaches the fruits.
5. Pollination: Ensure you have both male and female plants if they are not self-pollinating.
6. Monitoring: Check for pests, diseases, and signs of water stress.
7. Harvesting: Pick fruits when they begin to soften and change color, usually in late summer or fall.
These steps will guide you to successfully grow and maintain kiwi trees in containers.
