I harvested all these colored peppers from the garden the last few nights. The yellow ones were a surprise as I thought I had all red ones. However, three of the plants are producing yellow peppers so I am fine with that. Also in that pile are 2 pitifully small carrots. They have not done very well this year. Last year we had nice long ones. Not sure what is different this year. The leafy pile in the center is celery leaves. All this (not the carrots) headed to the dehydrator Thursday tonight. The celery turns to crumbles in about 90 minutes and is great in salad dressing. The peppers run all night and once re-hydrated are used in lots of dishes throughout the year. Two different kinds of red ones are pictures here; the smaller ones are thinner-walled and the larger ones are those really thick-walled sweet peppers. At a dollar or more each in the grocery store I can't even begin to calculate the money I have saved growing these peppers. Not even to mention the enjoyment I get from seeing this riot of color on the kitchen counters.
