Pepper Plants November 3rd

We’ve got a frost coming this weekend so I figured I should get some garden pics while I still had some plants!

Amazing that these bell peppers are still going on November 3rd…

In one of my recent posts I said I was going to look into pickling jalapenos, because I had so many of them. Well I decided against that idea, and instead made cream cheese stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon. Excellent decision – they were great! I think I’ll grow twice as many jalapenos next year just so I can make that recipe.

Some of my bell pepper plants are flowering… sad that it’s too late!

Growing the bell peppers was an interesting experience this year. All summer long, either it was too hot to set fruit, or I was having to take the peppers off the plants before they were ripe because of fungus (I still ate them green). Now in the fall most of them have been able to stay on the plant long enough to get ripe without getting soft brown spots.
