Muddy Bucket - 31 July - Some goodies
Been trying to catch up on the harvest and seed saving. I'm a bit overwhelmed right now with some domestic and health issues. However, the garden doesn't want to hear me complain, so it gave up a few goodies today.
It was time to do a really good harvest of some of the bell peppers. The two pictues below are of the 51 peppers I brought up. The ones in the bag are going to my brother. The ones on the stove are going to be stuffed and frozen. Some will be sliced and frozen for stir-fries this winter. I've still got a bunch down in the garden finishing their ripening. The white tub holds a few of the ones I picked for seed only. As I type this, I still have about 3 bushels of tomatoes down there to harvest for juice and table. After a rough start, the garden fairy has blessed us with plenty. Those cukes and some others just like them are going to be "Bread & Butter" pickles. Most of these have just come up to the house and haven't even been washed yet.

Looks great. Never thought about freezing stuffed peppers, I think I will try it! Hopefully, the other stuff will all settle down.

I agree about the stuffed peppers! Excellent use for extra bells.
Stuffing ideas, please.

Ted,
What a wonderful harvest! How many pepper plants do you have? Do you blanch the peppers before you stuff and freeze them? |

Great harvest Ted. Aren't you glad you are retired to keep up with all that farming? I hope things take a turn for the better regarding personal stuff...it seems to be happening up here too. Take care.

This year I planted a dozen California Wonder plants in my pepper row. I also have 15 other sweet peppers growing. Up at the house, I have two 18 gallon pots with three plants each of non-bell types (Tam Jalapeno as an example).
But, Steve, I just shove'em in the ground and put a little water on them when things get dry. When it gets really hot, I try to let some of the grasses grow up around them to give the fruit a bit of shade. After first harvest, I cut back the "shade" and the plants will usually bloom again.
