This season's peppers

picking the japs and bells in the green stage to keep the plants producing.

I agree . Daughter has the yellow bell , and waited for them both to ripen on the plant . Takes forever . That plant is stalled big time , and another heat advisory until Monday . New growth showing though . Should have picked them green . Has a lot of foliage on it to . Might need to strip some leaves .

The Fresno had about 6 peppers . Picked those and the heat rolled in . Gave it a week , and now it's loaded . They need to be picked to keep the plant going .

The 2 smaller red above are serrano . First time for me , but really like the heat level . My Son did a Calabrian sausage , red onion and serrano pizza with them . Drizzle of honey to mellow the heat a bit . Really good use of the serranos .

I picked one of the Cayenne when it was green . Took a bite . Seems pretty spicy . Right after I picked that one , the others started to turn .

30 plants.
Jalapeño
Tabasco
Thai Chili
Garden Salsa(no idea about these)

*Habenaro* (forget to add those to the initial list)

Should be a nice variety for dehydrating/grinding and making fermented sauce.View attachment 718376

Jalapenos are almost ready to pick.

What do you know, Black Pearls really do turn red.

Nice crop of peppers.
What's your plans for them?

No photos here. I was in a hurry due to changing work schedule and light frost in the morning.
All my jalapeno got harvested Tuesday morning except for 1 entire plant where all the fruit was heavily damaged from some pathogen or insect damage. The rest of the bell peppers got pulled, too.
It was almost freezing when I got home tonight (working 12 am to 12 pm shifts) so my wife's butter... something squash got harvested at O Dark-thurdy. Luckily a full moon as my headlamp died, but I think I got all the squash. If I missed any the deer can have them. I left the garden gate open. Maybe a mistake as the raspberry is still green and deer have sometimes pruned them

I love Jalapenos and use so may that these dozen are only a weeks worth. I will let them go full red before I harvest them. Getting full red ripened ones is getting harder to find so next season I will plant a lot more. The problem I am having now is the raised beds were attacked by gophers that limited the growth. I have steel mesh to install at the bottom of each that will fix it next time. I will also double the amount of raised beds.

After fixing my sprinkler problem a couple weeks ago I also finished running sprinklers to all four raised beds. No more hand watering them every day.

I also learned not to plant peppers and tomatoes in the same bed. The tomatoes suck the water away from the peppers and starve them.

I have many varieties of peppers from mild to very hot. I have mostly been using them for Pico de galo. That is my food candy.

Mine did pretty good this year . On and off as usual , but now I know that they'll come back on the weather cycle . I also let them get rough looking , and dry out the pots .
Jalapeno and Cayenne are loaded .


Serrano just coming on again with some cooler temps .
These are pretty spicy .

1 entire plant where all the fruit was heavily damaged from some pathogen or insect damage.

Yup . Had the same here , but found the culprit after it ruined a dozen peppers .
What's up with that ? One reason I grow peppers is they usually don't get stuff eating on them .
This was a first time for me .
