Life can get pretty crazy, and the life of @papa-pepper is no different.
Time and time again I find myself attempting to understand how in the world certain things are happening. From coming into the crypto and blogging environment that steemit provides with zero experience or understanding and suddenly finding myself becoming an almost household name within the community to now having friends all around the world and real connections to them, this has been a crazy ride.
Not only have so many of us with similar interests been able to share information and tips, encourage and inspire one another, and even be exposed to new interests and hobbies outside our normal comfort zone, many of us have been meeting up in “real life” and even shipping packages back and forth.
Some days it almost seems like every time I head to my PO Box I’ve got another amazing letter or package from another steemian. Recently, I got two at the same time!
Mail From @tecnosgirl & @mariannewest
THANKS SO MUCH! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!
Now I can broaden my gardening varieties and have my refrigerator represent our amazing community, all because of the generous gifts of others.
I absolutely love it when I get to see other steemians making and printing their own steemit gear. The "Steemit : Social Media Done Right" magnet from @tecnosgirl & @tecnoblast is incredible. Also, it is so cool to be able to receive plants from a plant sale on the other side of the country! Thanks @mariannewest! I always figured that I would end up shipping out a lot of things to other steemians, but I had no idea how much I would get back in return!
Honestly, I still have a few t-shirts and other things that I need to get shipped out around the world, so thank you all for your patience with me. Soon enough, I hope, I will be able to catch up on all of my previous commitments and obligations.
For those of you who have been following my “Business With Papa” series, I think that the next one will blow you away. The deal should be going down today, so stay tuned for that!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
proof-of-social-media-done-right
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
Oooo, very nice. I was so excited to get the mealworms you sent me. Did I ever tell you they grew into beatles before I let them go into the garden area at my moms?
Anyway, thought I would swing by and see how you are doing and looks like you are doing great.
It looks like that cactus could either be a tasty item... or a nasty wound. I hope you didn't get pricked!
You are such an awesome person and not only a role model but an inspiration to a lot of people here in the community. It is no wonder why you have done so well here on Steemit.
Good luck to you my friend!

Amazing to see your excitement on receiving that from @tecnosgirl who I know since she started Steeming. She designs amazing shirts and stuff related to Steemit
@kus-knee also had an exchange of silver coins with you. I read that post too.
I have one observation though. Are we, the people who comment on your posts, less Steemians? Do we not deserve to be read?
Replying to comments may be hard for you but not replying to comments may be discouraging. At least the comments written after reading the posts.
Please consider my observation. Replying to and upvoting comments is a generous gesture and encourages interaction. Thanks

Thank you!! And so sorry that I didn't label everything. Got an emergency call from my daughter in law that she couldn't make it back in time to pick up the kids - so, I was rushing to get it in the mail.
The first plant is a sweet potato imported from Africa. It makes huge tubers and they are not sweet. More like a potato. The greens are edible but i do cook them as greens. Not sure about eating them raw. From my understanding, they should be cooked. Yet, some eat them raw....
The tubers are Yucon. It was hard to tell, but I hope I got a red one and a brown one for you.
So, good to know that you have Nopales growing in the area. Is your climate kind of like North Carolina?

My friends grew that on their farm. I am going to send you some of the tall one, the bofo corn, as soon as the stalks are all dried. But don't know how much space you have to keep them far enough apart...

That is cool!! You must have a lot! the seed-saver people here told us that it should be 1.5 mi away from another variety to prevent cross pollination. But I guess when there are barriers in between that works too.
Glad it was on your wishlist :)
