@Egg Shooter the peppers are coming on full steam, and so are the tomato worms. Check carefully they're sneaky bastards and have hella camouflage.

I'd heard of a blot pepper but never grown one. She was so excited she picked a few early. These are full size but when ripe they turn burnt orange with some purple. They're considered a chili but carry no heat.View attachment 303883
Wow never seen those colours in peppers before

They did. I had one of those accords. Loved it despite the noisy suspension and *s-wordty transmission.
The oldest Honda I've driven is our 09 civic we bought new. It and anything newer we have are not noisy suspension wise. Must be they got it sorted before we got our first. Im still concerned about the CVT in the HRV. Zero issues yet, but those type transmissions don't seem to have a good track record in any manufacturers vehicles. I'm leaning heavy on offing it in favor of something similar but with a real automatic. Id prefer a manual but that doesn't exist much anymore. Lol.

As of three years ago you could purchase a current model accord with three pedals.

Iam with you Dave I hate saws with primer bulbs
I prefer them. Easier to start after they have sat. That's important for me. Pulling away on a saw while it draws fuel back up to the carb is a major culprit it making things worse for me pain wise with this whole neck *s-worde. It's why I'm getting rid of most if my vintage saws. In fact @Dream is getting one real soon. Its the worst of the group for being a bear to start.

Are they stock or ported Dave
That 372 is
The 445 and any of that series are *s-wordtodd
I put a rim drive clutch drum on it
The sprocket was chewed through by the chain amazed anyone ran one long enough to eat through the sprocket.
And muff modded and sharpened the chain.
That'll pay for my gunstore purchases today probably ammo
Or a steel target.

Yep. And, that 3.5 v6 model was a tire shredding mfer too. Almost bought one but the wife didn't like it. Right now, only manual offered by Honda is the Civic type R and SI and Civic hatchback. Nothing else.

Nice! Yeah them tomato worms are a sumbeatch. Haven't found any yet this year but I keep on the lookout for the turds and missing leaves. I can't believe how much they can eat. The Jasons of the insect world lol.

That civic other than the blocks cracking, are the best built Honda of that era. The jatco cvts are the ones that are trash. Nissan and fca use them. I believe that Honda uses an aisin cvt.
