Chilly last bits of light on Wadmalaw.

I've been cleaning out the pepper greenhouse the past two days. Pete asked me to save the seed too so that we can reuse it. You can't just save the seeds from all the peppers. If they have just a hint of too much green, the seeds aren't ready yet and won't make a new plant. Which means I have to go through and pull out all the ripest peppers from the trash piles I swept up yesterday. And then it occurred to me, just now, that saving pepper seeds is probably a lot like finding a good husband. The only seeds worth saving are in the peppers that are the sweetest and the most mature. It's even okay if they're a little rotten on the top.
