Peppers In The Garden

I took a moment earlier last week to see what kind of peppers I had planted in the garden.  I also wanted to make a note of which ones were producing already, so they would be a likely choice (after tasting them) for next year.

• Sweet Banana Hybrid (4)
• Bonnie Green Bell (7)
• Cayenne Hot (4) already producing some peppers, picked 1st batch last weekend

Sweet Peas

On a non-pepper note, while out in the garden picking peppers, I noticed the grape tomato plant had a few tomatoes that had turned red.  I had to taste them on the spot (2) and brought 2 inside the house.  They were good and slightly sweet.

Enjoy.

Here are some radom photos of how the peppers have been doing over the last couple of weeks.
