Time to pull peppers

Time to pull peppers

This part is hard. Pepper plants are perfectly healthy in October. They have rebounded since we have gotten some decent rain. Rain barrels are full, so they have even gotten some supplemental water. But it is time to pull them now at the end of October. We normally have our first freeze in November and any new fruit will not have time to grow up before then. Here is a pic or our last two harvests: jalapeno and chili pequin. Can you see the man with a beard in the photo on the right?

Note: These peppers are super hot, due to the drought and high temperatures.
