I'm having trouble getting poblanos with a consistent heat. Some are like bell peppers with a mildly bratty attitude, some clear the house like a chemical grenade when I blacken them. I grew up eating these things so it seems less likely that I mistook a large jalapeño for one.
I had been wondering if Hatches used to be hotter. I used to love seeing the red bunches drying in that punishing sun, with a too-perfect resemblance to strings of firecrackers.

I am pro okra for previously stated reasons--the flowers. Also, this post reminded me that sweet corn season only has another couple of weeks, right?
Yes! Time to start buying a few dozen ears for the freezer.
Nice evaluation of okra as possibly a snack? Can we get an opinion about raw kolhrabi, please?
I love peeled kohlrabi raw or lightly steamed, eaten with hummus (my go-to for raw veg)!
