Â* No , I missed picking the first few before they started drying out .
I'm keeping a closer eye on them now . They're blooming and still

as green beans .
leave enough for seeds, they take a while up here to fill
out the seeds completely.

Â*I tried one of those odd squashed-tomato looking peppers this morning
, they taste a lot like a green pepper with some after-heat . The wife
agreed .
were they good? let a few get ripe ripe and see how
they taste.

i don't much go for green peppers but really love a
good red pepper, especially when roasted.

Â*Â* The beans actually ripened much quicker than expected . Still a lot
of green pods on , and plenty of blossoms so I think we'll get some
green and dried . I'm not sure they like the heat we've been having - it
has been hotter than "normal" though so ...

Â* I just whittled a couple of slices from that one pepper that I picked
accidentally . I'm going to let some get bigger/riper and see what they
taste like . I'm not a big fan of green peppers , they don't like me .
We have some called "sweet reds" that I'm bettin' will make a great pot
of chili ... a long tapered pepper that's supposed to be very mild .
Peppers ain't just about the heat , each variety has it's own flavor . I
just wish the jalapenos I pickled the other day had more heat . Just
sittin' here thinkin' about what I have out in the garden that would be
good in/with/for dinner . Maybe something using some kind of peppers , I
think .
