Holy Hot Peppers.

Today's heirloom hot pepper harvest--the last for the season.


For a family that doesn't eat a lot of spicy food, I think...perhaps...I should plant fewer hot pepper plants next year. Three gallon-sized bags of peppers went to college with Tyler and Val. One gallon is heading to a friend's home tomorrow. One small bag joined its friends in our freezer. Because we've already processed a whole lot of hot peppers, I decided it was time to end the hot pepper season in our garden. 

It's time to plant garlic, and I need a free bed.

So, ¡adiĆ³s, hot peppers. Buon giorno, beautiful garlic.

I will never complain about too much garlic.

  1. WOW! That's a lot of peppers! You can always sell some to the Walkers! Brian dehydrates them and makes pepper flakes!

    1. Janet, I think we're peppered-out. Ty made hot sauce, and we've freezed, dehydrated, pickled, and crushed peppers. Honestly, since we have a low tolerance for too much heat, I'll be surprised if we use all that we have. But next year--maybe!
