Peppers and more veggies
Another wonderful over-the-top success. Pepper plants. They were Sweet Pepper Unicorn F1 Hybrid and with 20 seeds in the packet that yielded 16 hardy plants, I am in for lots of peppers. Actually, it’s fortunate that peppers matured later than my tomatoes did because after the frightening success of my tomato plants, I was completely unafraid to rip a few pepper plants out of the middle of this bushy crop growing in about half of my second raised bed. That helped.
They still are growing thick and fast.

Luckily, my neighbor Stephanie said she would be happy to take some off our hands– plus she mentioned stuffed peppers. I hadn’t even thought about that! I will be looking for a recipe for the stuffed peppers now.
It has been fun to watch these grow!

These are supposed to turn red if you leave them on the plant long enough. Hope so! We do love the peppers chopped onto our pizza and I will be excited to try stuffed peppers… as long as they are easy to make. Please send ideas!

Those peppers look good! You have quite a garden. We did not plant as much as you did, obviously, lol, but we’re still hoping for a good harvest of green peppers. I have also heard that peppers do turn red or (whatever color the variety is) if you leave it on the plant long enough.
For recipe ideas, how about making fajitas? Or kabobs on the grill? Stuffed pepper is always delicious. And I wonder if you can can them and save it for the winter?
