PROTIP: essential oils nuke pine sap. Lavender oil, tea tree oil, sandalwood oil, pretty much anything. They actually work better than goof off.

They don't do much for capsicum.

Nice. I wonder why that is? My aunt is on a big essential oils kick but she never mentioned that to me. Ah pine trees, the bane of my existence. If it's not sap that's getting me, it's the needles, falling branches or the pollen. There's still plenty of snow and it's pretty cold, but soon everything is going to look like this (image from The Boston Globe):

Grew up in Northern NM. I feel your pain. Used to be able to go to the pool during pollen season and run your finger along the edge to come up with pancake batter amounts of gloop that you could then throw at your friends.

Ponderosa - the only wood in the world that, when burned in a campfire, makes your clothes smell like Bacos.
