I'm back for another fun-filled, jam-packed summer of growing a load of peppers. This year I started about 1k plants and wound up with 700 in the ground. The leftovers were mostly chocolate habs, which I decided I could do without more than the others. I'm also growing some tomatoes, and unlike previous years where I basically neglected them, didn't stake them or anything, and got no tomatoes, this year I'm really trying not to screw it up. I've attempted to make spaghetti sauce a few times, and it's always terrible. It comes out tasting more like salsa. Until I finally tried roasting all the ingredients before simmering them. That seemed to make all the difference. It turned out freaking awesome this time. I got a little pasta roller and I've been making all kinds of fresh noodles. So this year I'm determined to duplicate my previous success. I have 60 something roma plants in the ground, just seeds from Lowes. They're doing really well so far in the big spot at the community garden, in which my peppers have always done terrible.
Here's the breakdown of the peppers:
