This is the gist of what will be in Tahlequah Daily Press, sometime this week. Hope you can come out to the meeting!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Peppers are one of the most beautiful, yet useful crops one can grow. Beside being beautiful, they’re pretty easy too! To start from seed one needs a warm place and at least 6 hours a day of direct sunlight. If one doesn’t have the resources for starting from seed, a few plants, purchased at a local nursery, will probably produce all that’s needed for flavorful cooking throughout the coming year.
In the fall of 2014 a member of Green Country Seed Savers brought some pods of Tabasco to our meeting, giving them to anyone who would like to try growing Tabasco. This is the very same pepper used to make the hot sauce by the same name. Several of us took pods home. I’ve grown it a couple of times, since then. Two plants will produce more really hot peppers than I rightly need. Yet I can’t help but plant this one. It is so very beautiful, and the peppers dry very easily. Of course, one could make hot sauce with them.
Green Country Seed Savers will be meeting Sunday, November 11, at 2:00 PM. We’ll meet at Liberty Grace Chapel (7584 Hwy 82A, Tahlequah OK 74464). Our members usually bring seeds and/or plants to share. I will be bringing Tabasco peppers!
Green Country Seed Savers is a volunteer group of gardeners, dedicated to helping others grow in our special environment. We love to discuss what varieties do best here, as well as ways to propagate and share them with others.
For further information call or text George McLaughlin Jr. at 918-###-####. Drop in on our website anytime!
