Pepper Post

 Yesterday I spend harvesting peppers and weighing each type. First the pretty pick of the varieties I harvested yesterday.

9/10/2022 harvest

 Here's the rundown.

Jalapeños were the top producer. I'm cool with that - I've been adding them 2 or 3 at a time, thin sliced, to my eggs in the mornings. It will take a LONG TIME to eat over two and a half pounds of them though. It does have me very excited to overwinter peppers this year though. If I get results like this with other peppers I'm going to be very pleased.

The cayenne harvest was pretty small, but it'll make enough powder for a few meals. And still plenty not quite ready yet on the plants. Next step is running them through the dehydrator. 

Serranoes harvest was not gigantic either, but I don't have too many plants and they're all in two liter bottles. I will overwinter these and repot for next year.

The Korean Dark Greens are a bit of a mystery, not sure how hot they will be. I think I may dehydrate and powder those as well.

And finally, my favorite, New Mexico Chiles. They are a mix of Big Jim and Anaheim. Felt like one variety was lighter in color than the other, but they might just be not as ripe, *shrug*. And not sure which is which. Next year labelling will be KEY! Anyway, these will be roasted, the skin peeled, and then frozen. Green chile for the winter, woot woot!

These are all the ones I grew this year, other than the Jalapeños which were started last year and kept inside over the winter.

Love me some Baker Creek

I'm not sure what happened with the Tabascos - maybe they just got lost in the shuffle. Ah well, next year!

Non-Pepper Post

 This was a big pepper day so I think I will separate out non-pepper content.

Tomatoes are still coming along, but have slowed down dramatically. I picked a couple today, along with eating a few black cherry tomatoes off the vine. Once again I saw a nice Hungarian heart tomato coming along right outside my bathroom window. Yesterday it was reddening, but I thought, heck, one more day. This was a mistake, because I looked today and someone ate half of it. Not sure who the critters are, need to get my trail cam up. Black Cherry tomatoes are a real superstar this year. Every time I go out there are a dozen ready to pick, and there must be over 100 left on the vine. Never see any pests bothering them. The Roma and the A'Grappoli D'Invierno (right beside each other) appear to be suffering from Septoria leaf spot.

Septoria Leaf Spot I think

Herbs are starting to do very well. Dill and Oregano are really springing to life. Basil is VERY happy, and I've already made a pint of pesto with it. More to come soon!

Dill

Oregano took its sweet time, but looking good now!

Starting to flower, boo!

Big leaves on the Lettuce Leaf Basil

Zucchini had been struggling. Last one I got was 8/23, but pulled this one today. I may get a few more, they're like gold now.

Long Beans done. Not a huge fan.

The new cuke setup.
