Default Today's pepper pickings

This year's peppers have just gone crazy. It's been extremely hot and humid for about a month now which I am thinking delayed ripening of the Golden Treasures. I decided to go ahead and harvest the largest of them from 3 plants. You wouldn't know they aren't yellow by tasting.....they're delicious.
I will remember this for next year.

I don't know what to attribute it to but peppers are more prolific and larger this year, sweet peppers taste sweeter and hot peppers are hotter. Same varieties i always grow. Glad I don't grow peppers any hotter than jalapeños and lemon drop, I couldn't take it! I have learned to pick the Padrons when they are small or they are too hot for my liking.

Just a few pics, took some of the plants after I finished picking. Now I'm off to prepare some peppers for the freezer.

Sorry for the sideways pics, again.
