Default Bell Peppers

I'm trying to do some of the cooking and had a great idea
for stirred fried vegetables. My brain went into sticker
shock when at $4.99 lb for Orange, Yellow, and Red Bell
Peppers. At that price, they are on my "To-Grow" list.

Kale was 99 cents a lb. Enough for four meals only cost
29 cents. At that price, there's no reason to grow it,
but it just replaced Lettuce in my house.

Just remember you pay high prices for green house grown ripe peppers
in the off season. In most areas of the USA bell peppers ripen in
August- September, and at that time locally grown peppers can be much
cheaper.
