Nutritional Value of Peppers

The most productive  vegetable I have grown this Summer was the peppers. I was surprised at all  the nutritional value packed in peppers, which has made me want to grow more of them next year.  I don’t like hot pepper taste but I have learned how to remove the seeds from jalapeños to make them mild.
My favorite tasting pepper is the long sweet pepper.  I had a beautiful potted long sweet pepper plant that died after the pot blew over in the wind. I still have one in the ground but baring far fewer fruit, maybe because it is crowded by other pepper plants.

I found some 12 in pots with water saucer attached which seems to hold moisture longer. I plan to plant a long sweet pepper in one of these pots next Spring and hopefully it will make it to fall next year.

 I am enjoying the second harvest of tomatoes which I pick green so the pest won’t get them.  Another advantage to growing peppers is that pest don’t eat them.

I will paste a pic of tonight’s harvest below and an old pic of my long sweet pepper plant that died.
