Today I pulled the last of the stakes out of my pepper field. They are still producing! There hasn't been a frost yet, but I'm done with the field. It'll be tilled and seeded with some sort of cover crop. My next field is already seeded with cover crops and I'll have to take some measurements in about two weeks.
Even though I was only there to pull out stakes, I filled two huge bags (like, garbage sized bags) full of red peppers. And I picked a fraction of them (and no green ones--most are green!). It's just an acre, but there are so many. I give them away (in addition to what the food bank takes from our farm) and I'm a hero to everyone. Free organic peppers :)

I don't know how much you watched Sesame Street, but did you ever hear of Captain Vegetable? he had a theme song:
ReplyDeleteIt is I, Captain Vegetable
With my carrot and my celery
Eating vegetables is good for me
And they're good for you so eat them too
They'll keep you strong your whole life long
... and I think there was more.
Sara the superhero!
