    Ugh, Da Bomb. That’s a cheater hot sauce. But it destroys most people on “Hot Ones”. I tried it and instantly regretted.

    If you want to watch celebrities lose it while eating spicy wings look up that show on YouTube. I find it highly entertaining. The interview is always good.

    The "Best Before" date is when it eats through the bottle?

    I hear tell if you make peach jam you can use the peach jam to make peach margaritas for the Mrs. We've got apple and cherry trees, but miss having a couple peach trees even though they're more work. We put the nets over the peach trees before they got too big at the last place. Then after that we were getting more peaches than we could use even after the critters took their share.

    I got a Hoont Motion activated water blaster to get rid of the pests coming up on my deck stealing my strawberries and other plants. Also bright and shiny reflective streamers work

    Get an owl decoy and mount it in your peach tree where it is obvious.
    Owls are predators and birds do not like to go near them

    Owls and rubber snakes work for a little while but the critters eating your fruit aren't fooled forever, they soon got wise to the fakes ...that's when I planted more trees ... that works .

    Our peaches never seem to make between the pests and diseases. Too wet here, I figure. They do better in SC. I pruned off a bunch of lower branches this past winter to see if that helps. We got a nice fruit set this year, fingers crossed!

    I have to drive for 14 hours to get to a climate that allows peach trees to grow. I have eaten fresh peaches off the tree exactly once in my life. They were incredible.
    From 400 miles due east of Ketchikan AK.

    Time the seasons right, and get on down to Georgia.
    Lots of growers will let you go into the orchards to pick your own, and pay by weight on the way out.
    That might make the road trip worth while for ya.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
    This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
    EVERYONE!
    Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.

    They think pretty highly of them down there.
