Aren't they pretty?

I went out yesterday and whacked off a bunch of excess foliage (nothing that is just blossoming will mature before frost), and found about 12 pounds of ripe ones that weren't even visible before. So I kept whacking, and I'd bet there are another 100 pounds of green tomatoes in that jungle! I have canned so many I have to put the jars in boxes under the bed! I've harvested over 300 pounds of them already, what on earth will I do with another hundred pounds? But I can't bear to rip them out, they are just beautiful!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-59724645319138199482009-09-11T20:42:50.018-07:002009-09-11T20:42:50.018-07:00Funny, I ripped out my summer stuff except my bell...Funny, I ripped out my summer stuff except my bell peppers...they are FINALLY starting to look like they should! Jalapenos are another story...the past 2 weeks I have sent some to AZ, MN, dropped some on doorsteps, etc...and still have 200 more on my plants ready to pick and 3 gallon bags in freezer and canned too. All from only 6 plants???!!! They are pretty though, like yours...I am thinking I will appreciate them more this winter after I have forgotten about the "jalapeno attack of 2009", lol!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-38680884856564221472009-09-11T18:21:01.511-07:002009-09-11T18:21:01.511-07:00Dan, it's so easy to freeze them.

Too bad Mr. H won't eat them (or the peppers), I'll have to consume them all myself. I always put double peppers and onions in mine.<br /><br />********<br />EG, it will take a long time to eat them all.
