More rain here. At least it's cool. My garden is beginning to look a little bedraggled by all the rain. Supper tonight will be roasted and stuffed NM chili peppers. I certainly got my money's worth on those seeds. I'm innundated with peppers.

Lots of rain here is SW PA as well. The mint and catnip are doing great, almost to the point of recovery from the near wipe-out I got from last year's dry summer.

The tomatoes, however, are hurting badly. I think the blight is back, even though I dug and burned and ashed the soil from the last time it showed up about three years ago.

Most of the tomato plants are the Better Boy variety. Is there one more resistant to the blight?

I love fresh green peppers, lightly sauted or stir fried with onions and other veggies mixed with rice, or stuffed with a slice of steak in fajitas.

Great to spruce up a salad too.LOL

My mid season pepper transplants are beginning to bear fruit. I hope to get enough to make some pickled peppers with onions, but I eat them so fast, it’s hard to collect enough for a batch.LOL

I don’t like them mushy though-it’s the texture. I love the filling for stuffed peppers, but can’t stand to eat the pepper after all the cooking that typical recipes have.

I am thinking that I might try making the stuffing part and chopping up the peppers really tiny to get the flavor, and then stir frying some on the side or just heating in the oven or microwave to the point where they are still crisp/tender and then stuffing them and serving them with out any additional cooking.

That way I could have crisp pepper with all the good stuffing taste. LOL

I’m expecting the same from “my seeds” and peppers as you are experiencing. What are you stuffing them with? I’m beginning some in the garage, under grow lights, as I’ve heard peppers are perrienels. (whatever), anyway I want to see my garage full of little “peepers” for my fall and winter growing, plus my peppers of all kinds, growing and showing. Hubby was really surprised when he saw the garage “clean” and rows of veggie seeds waiting to be put in pots with grow lights hovering above. He didn’t want an angel and he sure didn’t get one. We’re all for growing for fall and winter crops. Now to get the community garden ready to receive the little gems.
