It's salsa season again here in Graham, North Carolina. It's been an extreme growing season in that it's either been very, very hot or very, very wet. Sometimes both at the same time. But then this IS the South. That being said, June was one of the driest Junes in recent memory and July turned into the wettest month in a while. August? Well, we'll just have to see.
As mentioned in our recent newsletter, 2024 will be a veritable pepper-palooza for sure. Tomatoes...well our first batch was 24 pints and it looks like we might get a second batch in that range as well. Should know by this weekend. Typically we'd get a third batch but with the weather breaking from the normal cycles...we might not get a third batch of salsa. We'll see. We will be pickling peppers for sure.
