Just when I thought they might be done, our peppers are coming on strong again, that and the secondary growth broccoli. 4 broccoli plants seem to be enough for the 2 of us. we eat a lot when the first heads come in, and then steam a minute or 2 and vacuum seal and freeze any extra. Had a nice unexpected meal’s worth plus leftovers yesterday.

Nice. I hope it holds off. I have not gotten as many peppers as I hoped (planted hundreds of plants) but maybe have had more than I did last year - though not all the chocolate ones I got last year.

One planter stopped draining so I drowned a few accidentally - didn’t notice it wasn’t draining for a couple days - About 2/3 survived but they’re not doing much. Still have 2 others that are going good - if we can last until October or early November (often possible). I’ve got a few that are going in two other planters, mostly 1/2 of a planter mixed in with Jalapeno, Serrano (not sure I’ve seen any yet), Sweet Snacking Pepper (a huge harvest of ONE orange one) mixed in. I I think the Jalapenos took over the box - they may have cross-breeded with the others, lol.
