I actually harvested a thing.

My garden has fallen victim to... possibly my neurodivergence? yet again. But when I went out yesterday to see if anything was salvageable, I found... my Thai hot peppers thrived in this summer's weather and sporadic watering, and the plant gave me dozens of little tiny red lightbulbs.
I picked them and put them in a little cup. Then I held the little cup out to Husband, and asked, "Are you feeling brave?"
He was. He shouldn't've. He picked out what looked like a good one, forgetting that the tiny peppers have all the capsaicin of the big peppers but in a more concentrated dose. The resulting situation needed ice cream to quell it. "Those have got some heat," he confirmed.
I'm thinking they're destined to become a small batch of hot sauce, especially if I can coax the Thai basil back to life.
