I have blossoms on some of my pepper plants. And one even has tiny peppers set already.

Thank You!

Made my phone call to a buddy that lives on the same road as the nursery. It's a small operation and this time of year the heirloom tomatoes and peppers just add to the frenzy of their standard offerings. They certainly do move some veggies since adding all the heirloom varieties, most places ship veggie plants in but this family grows what they sell.

My banana peppers are starting second crop:

Excellent! I am growing Yellow Banana this year, I have six plants but no peppers set as yet.

I have a large pepper on my 'Giant Marconi' already and more forming. We've had so much rain lately that might slow things down a bit. But nice that I don't have to water anything by hand right now.

Went to HD today and couldn't resist seeing if they had any decent peppers left. Some strawberry plants in hanging pots were so tempting, but out of my price range.

I ended up buying two New Mexico Big Jim plants. I have never had these, that I know of, but they should surely fill in the empty spots I have in my garden. I am very happy now that I have a lot of peppers to go along with the ton of tomato plants I have. Would prefer to pick up a couple more Anaheim plants for my chili rellenos, but the only other peppers they had were Santa Fe somethings that looked small. I might experiment with making chili rellenos with the Big Jim's because I like to experiment using different peppers anyway, may as well experiment with making chili rellenos.

I don't know if I will have any luck finding decent pepper plants at Walmart this week, but I only have one spot left for peppers which I would love to fill with another Anaheim. Or, if they had Poblanos or other mild like Hatches or whatever.

Still watching the eight Anaheims growing and almost drooling as I watch them. There are several Serranos growing also. Nothing yet from the Cayenne.

I have lots of peppers on both my Fruit Basket and Mucho Nacho.....but they are not nearly close to ripe yet. Everything is so far behind this year due to our cold/wet spring. Even now, the weather is way cooler than normal, with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s. This time of year, we normally have highs in the upper 80s and even 90s. Lows in the 50s is just ridiculous!!!! Nothing is ripening

I think we've had 2 days of summer so far -- and they were 2 weeks apart!!

I picked my first pimento pepper today. It's about egg sized. I chopped it and combined it with onion and cream cheese for a bagel spread.

yummy!!
