Pepper Harvest

Last week's pepper harvest has had us scrambling to pickle and make sauces. There must have been about 15-20 pounds of peppers and it's already time to pick again! These are jalapeno, serrano, habanero and cayenne. We have a whole new batch of peppers that are starting to produce (about 20 varieties) and I am so excited to see the results. We've got some really interesting varieties of sweet and hot peppers from all over the world which I will post pics and descriptions of soon. Sometimes I think I'd just like to be a pepper farmer as they are my favorite veggie.
The tomatoes are setting fruit. Thankfully the weather has been just mild enough to allow this. I have 13 varieties of tomato, many of them heirlooms. It should be interesting to see how they all fair in this Central Texas heat! Updates coming soon!
