I'm happy to report, that I believe both of the plants I have saved from last season are alive!

One I knew cause it has new growth low down and today I felt some of the small leaves on the other plant - she is alive as well!

Oh man - if I get her in the ground and she makes more peppers like she did in '23, then in '24 the bounty of the fruit she offers - one of a kind sort of pepper - will make me a "rich man" in my mind - not like the rich men north of Richmond, but rather the richness that comes from keeping plants alive and prodigious.

In '24 there are going to be some special peppers growing at my place in Fries, VA.

You can bank on it!

I'm not kidding around - I opened the peppers been dried out, but they let me know this still were holding onto some of their aromatic peppa power of serious intent and I breathed it in and that would have been the end of a lessor man, but lucky for me I already encountered this sort of thing and now after breathing it in I am just more determined and more mean than I ever thought I could be.

Well - get ready.

2024 is the Year of Resolution and I will have peppa product for sale and I ain't kidding around.

Do you think I'm kidding around - if so that is your thought only.

I'm not, but the proof will be in the pudding will it not - and the one baby doll plant I'm trying to keep alive - if she is still alive - then god bless you and god bless me - cause the beautiful pepper babies she made are unmatched in my book - they are the ideal combination of heat and taste and beauty and I ought know cause I seen em, I ate em, and I grew that plant and now I want MORE!

More are on the way I say - there is no stopping it!

There is no stopping Justified peppa retribution fierce - it is coming - I hope you are are ready.

I hope you planned in advance - if not, I hope you have good neighbors - if you don't have that, then I hope you start working on it - cause together we are better and any dimwit knows that.

I live in a concrete jungle, with friends who let Me crash because I have no home. No One here grows anything, and I have no home, so... Not sure what work I should be doing...

There must be a way - twixt you and your friends - to grow something - there must be a way - for the sake of "free energy" from the sun.

Please - find a way - find a home - find a place - please - find a place to call home.

We all need that and that is why my heart is broken for the folks in Gaza - but my heart is strong and I send my strength to them - 10 times over.

My friends are in apartments, with no space, really. I barely can find space on the floor. And They're not interested in growing anything. [sigh] I will just take things as they come. All I can do.

Encourage your friends to grow some crops - it might not feed them but it will connect them with their humanity is my hope AmSolar - come on - if energy is free then we must be in harmony with the sun, the place we live and our environment - with nature for heaven's sake.

If they can't do that, then they are lost.

If you have no friends in the city - then get out into the woods or a rural area and then find a place where you can help others.

The time is now - don't despair - but growing other things is what keeps us in touch with nature - you must know that if you want to comprehend free energy is what I think.

Where? They're hoarders, in small apartments, studio and 1 br. Sure I could suggest growing things, but.... Where? And when They have no interest, I doubt I will get Them to toss the stuff They hoard to make room for a small patch of soil...

And My definition of free energy is energy We can run Our refrigerators and computers on. The sun is not exactly "free energy;" its part of the cycle...

And... I am 67, with psoriatic arthritis, and bone spurs in My thumbs - even tying hurts. I cannot "live in the woods," alone, by Myself, and expect to survive. I'll just, as I have said, take it as it comes.

You know how I am don't you - I've been thinking about our discourse here and why I got so upset that you couldn't figure out a way to plant some seeds in soil, and you know I send my hugs to you, but really - I don't think there is an excuse unless you just don't want to do it.

If that is the case, as I said already - I don't understand.

Even if I was homeless, and there have been times I've felt as such, I never was hopeless or unwilling to plant a seed. I think that is what touched a nerve for me, and I have said before have I not - I can be mean?

I'm just being honest and I hope you find a place to call home.

I mean serious business and my business is peppa!

Seriously!

I might of died if it hadn't been that I'd breathed this sort of thing in before - I have eaten them raw - my mouth has been on fire.
