Harvesting green peppers and hot peppers
24 of October 2011
It’s getting colder and colder, and I am realizing there will not be time for the sweet peppers to ripen. So I harvested many of them green tonight. Sad to not get to see them get ripe, but I’d rather have them green than not at all.
There is still more to harvest. The hot peppers are continuing to ripen, though they are also late, and we are getting quite a small harvest as compared to usual.
Hot peppers grown in Earth Boxes -- Mix of Rocotillo, Kung Pao, Sport, Big Bomb, Pepperoncini and somewhere a single Pimento de Padron.
Bell pepper from my Square Foot garden
Weighed in at 505 grams. (Almost 1 pound 2 ounces)
Harvest, ready for the grill

Ready for the grill
Peppers: Jimmy Nardello and College, Eggplant: Amethyst
Potatoes: Bintje and unknown red variety grown from Trader Joe’s organic potatoes that started sprouting eyes Red onion: Red Crimson
Jimmy Nardello is one of my favorite sweet peppers, and College is one of my favorite anaheim type peppers.
This is the first year for me growing Amethyst, and they will certainly be on my “must grow” list for next year. Absolutely delicious, and cooks faster than many other eggplants.
