Okay, I finally took pictures of my peppers. These are the biggest, thickest peppers I have ever grown. Completely organic. I made to-die-for soup today with fresh tomatoes (beef steak and paste tomatoes), a big roasted red pepper, onions and garlic sautéed in olive oil, and lots of fresh basil and parsley. I cooked the tomatoes like I do for sauce, then put some of the tomato juice back in the blender with the rest of the stuff. Just cooked it for 10 minutes, but it was thick and delicious. I haven't had tomato soup since I started Atkins three years ago. It was a perfect day for it-- pouring down rain and cold.

Wow! Nice peppers! This is the first year mine did well too. I tried the chicken tractors, but there are so many ruts on our property, the wheels on the thing pretty much sunk into the ground.  |

I have to tell you fellow gardeners how much I am enjoying all the produce that I put up this year! My homemade "pasta" sauce is the best I ever ate. It works great over squash noodles. I will forever more be canning and freezing my own sauces. I cut up my red, yellow and green bell peppers in different sizes from long wide strips to tiny dice. I froze them so they didn't stick together and put them in zipper bags. It's so easy to just grab a bag or two and measure out how much I need for a recipe. For my hot peppers, I just cut them open and took out the seeds and froze them like that. It's still easy to dice them while they are still frozen to use in recipes. I'm gonna need a bigger freezer next year! My 11 cubic feet upright got full too fast! I am working hard to get back out into the country by spring. My 14-year-old grandson says he will help me all summer. He has a natural green thumb. When I became disabled when he was very small, he helped me just like a big kid. He taught his mom and aunt how to plant garden when he was five years old, and I was not able to do anything. I've got my seed catalogs out already, dreaming about what to order this year. I'll be ordering mostly from Johnny's this year. I've always ordered mostly from Burpee, but they have gone to over $5 for a pack of seeds and shipping doubled. They now grow most of their seeds over in India or China and they don't germinate as well and I have gotten the wrong seed three times. When you pay 5 bucks for a pack of seed, plus shipping, spend money growing them and then they are not what you ordered, it makes me furious! See you in the spring! Sunny!
