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.

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.

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