I’m not sure what variety the long red pepper is, but it’s sweet with just a hint of spice. We’ve had the plant since last year, but this summer is the first time it has produced peppers. It’s quite pretty, isn’t it?

The other three peppers are Scotch Bonnets. We’ll dry them and make them into pepper flakes. They’re the best!

This year, our pepper harvest is abundant! The early start seems to have paid off. Over the next few weeks, we’ll enjoy jalapeños, scotch bonnets, ghost peppers, Brazilian starfish peppers, and what appears to be banana peppers (although I’m not entirely certain). ️️️

I brought all our pepper plants inside when the overnight temperatures started dropping into the 40s F and now they are almost ready to harvest! I was a little sad that I had spent so much time all year caring for them only to have the heat and cold deny us a harvest, but it looks like we’ll get to enjoy a few peppers at least. Yay!

I brought in these peppers before the freeze comes. Our last harvest of the year! Which is fine because I need to start the new seedlings right when the new year begins. Harvesting peppers in November and December is too late for us.
