There's another I haven't grown in a few years. With the problems
I've had with bell peppers lately, I'm inclined to try other
kinds of sweet peppers.

I have been growing Figaro - they get 6+ feet tall so staking is a must.
Thick flavorful. Great for stuffing! I don't even grow bells anymore.

Six feet is very impressive! Did you grow them from seed, and if
so, where did you get the seeds?

I did chocolate habs for the first time this year. The jamaican place owner
said they like them the best, they are bigger!

I think the chocolate habs add a smoky sort of taste to dishes
that you don't get with other habs. I made some poppers out
of the ones I picked today. What I have that I need a home for
are almost twenty Devil's Tongue peppers. I don't need any more
hot pepper oil or dried Devil's Tongues, and these are too hot
for me to use in cooking. I gave away about a dozen to friends,
but I still have a bowl of them.

This is fall planting weekend, spinach, collards, beets, etc.

Yeah, I need to get going on that myself. I was trimming back
some of the rampaging basil this morning, and I found a yellow
current tomato vine that was hidden. I picked a handful of ripe
ones and ate them on the spot! There are a couple of more
handfuls of green tomatoes, too.
