I haven’t made that sound, but I admit to shaking the packages and giggling when they rattle :)
I am not sure if you are old enough to remember Charro
Yes, but it was the results of two of us (me and my then-MIL) picking 8 hours a day for 6 days, then going to the market on the 7th day!
I’m just glad Big John (my then-FIL) took out the strawberries and went with raspberries by the time I joined the family. Strawberry picking is ridiculously hard work.
He had the raspberry canes tied up, so you could stand and talk across the row from one another and pick. :)

I almost finished the 24x4 foot garden bed today... damn grip gave out from driving decking screws into a series of plastic/composite 2x4s.
Fingers started cramping up. I have 40 more 10”x 5.25” cedar slats to screw to the 2x4s which makes up the sides of the raised bed.
At one point I was so tired, I thought about moving some of the garden soil aside, layig down in the hole and dragging the soil back over me with my hands.
But then I remembered I had a single iced cold beer (can of Bohdizafa) in my fridge and I found the will to go on.
Tomorrow is my Bday and I will be 52.
I wiah my parents were alive to call me and say Happy Birthday....:(
Do ghost peppers keep away pests? Which kind of pests? Bugs, raccoons, in-laws?
I am planting a beautiful, blue, Hydrangea right adjacent to my seating area that overlooks my garden.
It was my mom’s favorite flower/plant.....I even had the image of one etched into her grave marker along with a needle and thread “stitching” along rhe edge of the marker to remember her quilting and crafting by.
I’m what you call “a good son.”
Nice!
Thanks for posting.
Anything that makes the mistake of biting into one of the fruits, will tend to avoid that plant and everything around it for the rest of their life. Squirrels, mice, raccoons, whatever.
Hmmmm....
