It’s summer time, and SJC has turned up the heat!
***Our event has been POSTPONED until 2022 due to health concerns***
Datil peppers are an iconic, heirloom tradition in St. Johns County. In 2013, St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners proclaimed the Datil Pepper as the official plant of St. Johns County, and the first Saturday in October as Datil Pepper Day. In the dog days of summer, our datil peppers are producing non-stop at small farms and home gardens across the tri-county area.
While the exact origin of the datil pepper is unknown, heritage is credited to our local Minorcans. Their rich culture in the St. Augustine area, includes many datil-inspired and infused cuisines, such as with hot sauces, jellies, relishes, barbeque sauces and mustards, honey and even beer! With peppers reaching 300,000 units on the Scoville scale, the datil provides a unique flavor and some intense heat.
UF/IFAS Extension of St. Johns County will host the 13th Annual Datil Pepper Fall Festival on October 2 – 3, 2021. Please join us at the St. Johns County Agricultural Center in St. Augustine.
Visitors will have a chance to learn about local agriculture by attending educational programs; enjoy datil-inspired food during the restaurant competition; and visit vendors with a wide selection of datil pepper products. Past vendor booths have sold datil products such as sauces and jellies, plants, tea, honey and more!
The festival includes our “Datil Pepper Restaurant Cook-Off” contest on Saturday. This event provides an opportunity for local restaurants to compete for the favorite datil–inspired dish of the day. Visitors can sample these dishes by making a small donation and receiving food tickets. All local chefs are invited to request a space (limited to 12 spots) for the cook-off by reaching out to Wendy Lynch, FCS/Food Systems Extension Agent (wendyw74@ufl.edu). We are looking forward to seeing you this fall!

When: Saturday October 2nd, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday October 3rd, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Where: St. Johns County Agricultural Center, 3125 Agricultural Center Drive, St. Augustine, FL 32092. Admission and Parking: Free – Handicap parking near main building Food tickets for Saturday’s Contest: $2 donation per ticket recommended For more information call the UF/IFAS Extension, St. Johns County Office (904) 209-0430.

The information says the sale is only held twice per year. How can we get on a mailing list to be notified of the upcoming dates?

To increase your bankroll in slot-machine gambling, one of the finest ways to complete it is to enjoy benefit game slot machines. However some position models hand out bonus upon earning, maybe not these do. Additionally there are casinos that not present winnings with in-game bonuses. In this instance, it is likely to be intelligent for position players to get these casinos by themselves or through online resources. There are several those who have taken it upon themselves to examine most of the various kinds of products in the casino or on the web casinos; through this they'll know when they will lay out their cash and when they could simply take their chances.

Good morning, I am a St. Johns County homeowner with a formerly nice lawn. There is a large area where I have re-sodded twice...and now the lawn (to latest re-sod) is again dying. My Trutco person says it isn't fungus...rather he thinks it might be a pathogen in the soil. I would greatly appreciate any advice about how I might get a diagnosis. I have searched the UF extension pages, but the soil sample program seems to test only for nutrient levels and chemicals in the soil. Is there some other testing program I might be able to use? Thanks so much for any advice.

I truly appreciate this post. I have been looking everywhere for this! Thank goodness I found it your blog.

Do the Master Gardeners sell their plants at any other times(s)? Unfortunately I was out of town last Saturday and could not make the scheduled sale. I have walked around the gardens several times and there seems to be tons of starter plants out there, and I would love to purchase some of them. Is it possible to make an appointment with someone that I can meet at the extension office gardens to buy plants? Thank you.
