revenge of the peppers

It's been a while since I talked about my peppers, hasn't it? Anyway, they are still doing fine -- we have yet to get any real frost down here in the lake valley.

As you can see, I haven't picked any of the jalapeños yet. I am waiting for them to ripen a bit more, after which I plan to pick them all simultaneously, dice them, and freeze them to dole out over the winter, because while I like spice, I don't like that much spice all at once.

You may remember that in addition to the three full-sized peppers, the bell pepper also produced two tiny peppers about the size of my thumbnail. I hoped that once I picked the large peppers, the little ones might start to grow again... and while one had sadly rotted in the meantime, it appears that the other has indeed taken advantage of the sudden lack of resource competition and is growing once more! It's now about the size of a plum and I look forward to seeing how it does.
