I came home today and had some peppers waiting to be picked.

I have a love hate relationship with these.  I love the way the plant looks, but I hate harvesting it.  563 pods were picked off 2 plants.

The peppers look pretty good after a week of being unattended.  I lost one branch off a baha goat plant because it couldn't support the weight of the pods.  The tomatoes look like they need a good shot of nitrogen to get them through the rest of the year.   
 
 
 
 
thats a nice haul. 
 
What's the peppers bottom left, they got a weird ghostly look to them and are they heavily corked?
 
What you going to do with the mystery citrus? Pickle, dehydrate... deseed every one...  :rofl:  I'll see you again in 3 years  :party:
 
Great haul, Terry. It's time to fire up the kitchen and make some projects. I'm making purée today. I'll have a bunch of peppers in the next week or so. Have to make room in the freezer. I like the wild peppers. They are a pain picking, but worth it. If I'm going to dehydrate them, I out a piece of plastic around the bush and use scissors. Just cut and let them fall. You can trim them pretty quick.

I just finished pickling them.  I have a handful leftover that I will dehydrate to use in an infused oil.

Nice tip.  Thanks Chuck.  I have some that I am smoking now and will either dehydrate or freeze later to use in a sauce.  I will have a full day of processing tomorrow.

Uhhhh…no.  I pickled most of them from today and if the jars seal I will send em down later on.  If they do not seal I will just refrigerate them.  I used Beerbreath's no BWB method.

Nice Terry!
 
What's really nice is you came back from Vay-Kay and the garden was still intact, can't beat that.
 
Happy to see you got a nice haul, I'm sure it's just the beginning!

Thanks Scott. The drip sysyem on a timer makes it real easy. I turned the drip system off when I got home to let the soul dry out a bit. Then they will get a nice feeding to keep them going.

Those are NOT yellow jackets and they will destroy any bee/hornet around. They are European Hornets and twice the size of any native hornets. That is a full size apple they are on, notice the fly? See how small they are when compared to scale?

Sorry Chris... never seen European Hornets before so I didn't know they looked so much like Yellowjackets.

Some pickle processing. I almost got all 11lbs into the big mouth fermenter. I will leave them at room temp for a day or two and then into the fridge to finish up.

Finally found my notes on pickle-making from last year Terry... Turns out I left the pickles out at room temperature for 4 days for half-sours and 2 days for new pickles. Both times make for crunchy pickles that still have good cucumber flavor, just the half-sours have more tang. How did yours come out?

Very good Rick.  I had them ferment for 2 days and they have been in the fridge just over a week now.   I really like the taste but of course I did not keep track of what spices I put in there.   I think with the ones I picked to day I will let them ferment longer to get them more sour.  
 
In my quest to document everything I am growing, here are a few more pictures.

I have a ? after the red BBG7 because I had it labelled as a brown.  I have never grown BBG7 so I am assuming that is what it is.   
 
It has been a busy couple of days processing what was picked.  I will post some pictures of that later on.
