ness Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Ahh what a picture Ness, you should work at the food network. The Ness twist! I like that. You bet we will be doing that move next season. Garden still looking good here. Have almost a gallon on the monster blackberries. One in the middle row. Pick a good hand full every day. Drop them in a ziplock in the freezer. They are adding up well for the first season. Mrs. Billethead picked and ate our first husky cherry red cherry tomato today. She said it was good. Cubanelle peppers coming on like gangbusters as are other peppers. I googled up a bunch of recipes for the cubanells. Soon I will be stuffing them with goodies inside before cooking and then stuffing my face with them. Had four tubs of broccoli which did well. After yanking them up we replanted the tubs with baby romaine lettuce. The package said you could plant it spring, summer and fall producing a crop all season long. We will see if that is a fact though ? BilletHead Looking forward to seeing what you do with the Cubanelles. I've always heard good things about them. As for the romaine -- seed companies never lie, right? John
ness Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 My pepper plants were behind a row of onions -- finally starting to see some better growth now that the onions are laying down. A few Anaheims and bananas. Live and learn John
budman Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Ate dinner tonight and everything was picked from the garden today. Had corn on the cob, green and yellow beans with a few new potatoes, fried zucchini and eggplant, sauted yellow squash, zucchini, and onion with a little lemon basil and garlic, a cucumber salad with dill, vinegar and sour cream then a bowl of blackberries for desert. Best year I had in my garden if about 10 years. The purple hull pear and starting to turn on and I can't wait.
BilletHead Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 Dang Budman that sounds yummy! Here a couple of photos of the cubanells Right now I have two on one plant that are six inches long. Others slightly smaller. Could pick these two but want enough to stuff so as to make a pig of myself, BilletHead "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

BilletHead Posted June 29, 2014 Author Posted June 29, 2014 picked a half dozen cubanells, What did we do with them?

Wayne SW/MO Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 They resemble Anaheim's, are they similar? Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
BilletHead Posted June 29, 2014 Author Posted June 29, 2014 Along slender banana-shaped pepper that is considered to be a sweet pepper, despite having a mild to moderate spicy heat. Ranging in color from green to yellow or red, this pepper has a glossy outer skin that is smooth and firm in texture. Also known as Italian frying pepper, this pepper is mildly hot and very similar to an Anaheim pepper. Cabanelle peppers are often used in casseroles, salads, pizzas, and as a pepper to be stuffed with a savory filling. They are a good substitute for Poblano peppers.

ness Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I read an article on them today -- said they're often used as a replacement for poblanos. I'd never heard that. I made some Étouffée last weekend, and used a poblano instead of green bell pepper. I saw that in a recipe online, and I'm not a huge fan go green bells, so I gave it a try. It was really good, and gonna be the way I do it going forward. Interesting to think of Cubanelles along those lines too. So, I was out on the estate tonight, doing the ness Twist™ and here's what I reaped: John
