The little one at the top gave me the clue that it was time to harvest them. I went to check on how ripe they were and saw that it had fallen off the plant, harvesting itself.
Based on previous experience, these five should give me about a year's worth of cooking, since I cook only for myself most of the time.
Drying is advancing in the second picture. It always reassures me when they fail to rot.
Oh! Hot STUFF!
ReplyDeleteOur peppers were a dismal failure this year. >sigh<
My peppers are ripening nicely now, so I will string them and dry them soon!
ReplyDeleteDaryl, don't be too disappointed. It annoys me that these are all the produce of the garden this year, except for about a cup of broccoli and two bell peppers slightly larger than my thumb. I'm not counting the three "pies-worth" of blackberries, because all I did was pick them.
ReplyDeleteBag Lady, I'm happy to hear that your peppers didn't go on vacation while you were on yours.
