I don’t know who is setting the prices but I paid $2.50 for a single bell pepper at Publix yesterday.

The federal government sets the prices for food in ways so subtle it takes person with a PhD in Agricultural Economics to fathom. Many of these fellows work for the Federal Government.

That’s silly. Grow your own if you have access to dirt. If you don’t, find a friend who does. $2.50 for a pepper is criminal.

I have 39 bell pepper plants growing in my garden now, and will soon plant 6 more.

I use many every summer in salads and grilled, and freeze several pounds of diced peppers in the fall and stuff and freeze 3 dozen peppers to eat over the winter.

I do have to buy several over the winter for salads, however, as frozen peppers are terrible in salads. Fine, however, in omelets and scrambled eggs.
