Peppers for sure for us. They grew better than anything last year. I harvested a green one when needed and froze a few - the rest I let turn red before harvest, and then cut them into quarters, vacuum packed, and put in freezer for stir fry.

Red peppers here are at least 2 bucks during the winter and even more for organic, if you can even find them. Peppers are also a great source of vitamin C. We can’t really grow citrus outdoors here, so peppers are one source for us.

As a kid, stuffed peppers was never on the preferred list for me.

I may give em a shot. I have a good well lit area. Lots of sun. They dont take up much room.. Good luck!

I like to take my leftover peppers and slice them in strips, saute just a tad in some olive oil so they are still a little crunchy. Then I’ll put a cup or 2 in a foodsaver bag, vacuum seal and freeze. Works out great to toss tem in something during the winter, pasta or with some Italian sausage and onion.
