This summer I interviewed Bernis Ingvaldson from honeyberryusa.com and received a tour as well that I wanted to share with Permies. Bernis had a lot of amazing fruits and foods made from them to share with us. If you are in the headwaters area there is a U-pick business run here and they also sell some pretty unique berry plants as well that are available for shipping or local pickup. There is also a nice collection of resources on growing different types of berries on their website.

Only downside, sometimes certain websites will give me trouble when I need to do video conferencing (probably due to pop-up blocker).
On those rare occasions, I'll use Firefox to get by.



What is the major pros and cons for Opera from your perspective?

Over the past few years I have been using the Brave browser. My assumption is that a lot of people on Permies might use browsers other than Chrome/Firefox/Edge etc. at a higher rate. Always looking for better alternates, thanks.

Caraway, Job's tears, winter savory, some other more common perennial herbs, Lupine, bells of Ireland and a couple of extra large varieties of Lagenaria which I have not grown yet but I always grow some type as they are my favorite. I also put in arctus rubus at the end of the season this year which hopefully is still going to make it.

Hello!

Last year I dehydrated and mortar/pestled my cayenne peppers to be used as a seasoning. I realized going through my seeds this year that I only have Hungarian wax peppers ad ran out of cayenne seeds. Has anyone ever had success growing peppers this way? I am trying to see if they germinate regardless and figured you guys would probably enjoy my little experiment, Thanks!
