Well, the first batch of roasted chili peppers was a little hotter than I like, although Elery thought they were good, so I roasted a second batch using more mild peppers and fewer of the red/ripe hot ones. This batch was milder, so 3 half pints and 2 quarter pint of those as well as 7 quarts of Christmas Lima beans and I think that's the canning for this year unless I find a great deal on apples or need to free up more freezer room for beef.

I stretch it right out to the end, LOL. Actually, I just dug/pulled about 90 leeks and I have a couple hundred heads of garlic left to deal with. Those will both be sliced and dehydrated for future use. I've already dehydrated about a bushel of sweet peppers, I use a lot of them. I have some pepper slices in the freezer for fajitas and such but because we raise 25 chickens a year, process a whole steer, buy a pig from a neighbor, put at least one deer in there, the freezer space is at a premium. My Granddaughter's boyfriend likes to hunt so he has gifted me with about 30 goose breasts. My nephew brought me a big salmon. With corn and berries and an occasional pie crust or bag of cookie dough, my freezer room is spoken for and I have FOUR freezers!

Thanks for all the sign ups. Looks great. The months without anyone signed up are not all in a row and that's a good thing.
I have Berry Poppins, but I also have Mr. Poppins so I couldn't answer about the other polliators.
Mine were also small (I do mostly mail-order so everything is small!) but this is the second full season I have had them and they are doing well - and berrying! I also happen to have Little Goblin, and Mr. Poppins also pollinates that as well. I couldn't decide which to get so I got both!
Mine are in part shade. They would probably do better with more sun, but that's not happening in my yard lol. I've seen other hollies doing well in shade and understory conditions so I thought I'd try. I am happy with their progress so far. Perhaps smaller, but I wanted winter interest in my garden so I am happy with how they are doing.
