I dried a bunch of thyme. Dont really use it much though. Also dried other things using your method. Got a bunch of sage. Sure wish I would of got that basil going before plant died off. At least I got a bowl of Pho in.

Dumb question. If I buy japs from store, can I turn them red by sitting in the sun? Or no deal as they need to be on the vine?

Not sure but probably on the vine. I can say the ones I let turn red got kind of soft and no heat.

 

[chopsaw]

I just let them sit on the counter . Normally you like them to be starting to turn . Not sure if store bought work the same way , but I pick and just put them out of the way on the counter . No sun . but natural light .
This is from last year . Serrano , fresno and Japs .


These are from this year . Letting them completely dry for powder .
They were all green when picked . Gonna slit and put in the oven today .

 

[zwiller]

THANKS No idea why I like the red so much better. Looks so much better to me in say pickled eggs or sausage.

I've had them turn from green to red in the pickeling jar .

Per ChatGPT...

Yes, but only under limited conditions.


If you pick a mature green jalapeño, it may continue ripening and turn red off the plant because peppers are climacteric enough to continue some color development after harvest. However:

• It will usually turn red more slowly than if left on the plant.
• The flavor may become slightly sweeter and less grassy as it ripens.
• It won't develop as much additional size or complexity as a pepper that ripens on the plant.
• If the pepper was picked too early (immature), it may never turn fully red.

I wonder if Chat GPT ever grew peppers ?

 

[jcam222]

I posted up my tomato plants in another thread. I have 5 Sun sugar cherry and 1 Sweet Million that started ripening last week finally. I've picked about a gallon and a half since then. I have four larger tomato plants 2 of which were supposed to be Better Boy and 2 Golden Jubilee. Well 2 are round fruit and likely one of those two. Two are small paste shaped tomatoes which tucks me off on the mislabel. They are all just starting to color up today.

If you want red , I can send you some of these .

Some type of thai chili . Tiny , and firery .

Still got some beans in the main garden.
To the left and right of the purple flowers we have sweet and jalapeño peppers.
Beyond the greenhouse are some potatoes and up on the hill are 6 fruit trees. 3 apple and a plum a nectarine and a apricot.

On the other side we have some tomatoes in the flowerbed and 2 cherry trees also 4 blueberry bushes out around the swing.

Put up some string lights today

Thanks for looking!

I whacked my Thai Basil today. Probably a few weeks late. Cayenne is my only peppers I harvest these days. Looking at the calendar I doubt I will get any bells and much for japs before October when I kill the garden

Something ate most my peppers. I sure going to my Thai basil until it gets going inside.

Serranoes here. They've done really well this year. Replanted some yellow squash and they've come up so we'll see...

I whacked my Thai Basil today.

I dried a bunch a few years back . Amazing how much it mirrors anise .
I got so used to the Aero garden basil , dill , thyme and parsley been hard to do without .
Haven't ran that in a few years now .

I grew red flames last year . Turned them all into powder .
I've picked one green bell this year , then it stalled . Now it has 3 on it , but not getting very big .
Jalapeno is loaded , as well as the Habs . I'm surprised how well it's all doing with this heat , and just being in pots .
