Week 20: Cayenne Peppers Galore!

This week has been all about the pepper harvest. I harvested 79 peppers from two plants in the past week! Yippee! Here is the total count thus far:

Pepper Plant #1:   59 Peppers Harvested
Pepper Plant #2:   35 Peppers Harvested
Pepper Plant #3:   0 Peppers Harvested

Total Peppers Harvested:   94


The entire top row of peppers are from plant #1. As soon as ripening kicked into high gear I started to get lots of peppers softening and wrinkling up at the bottom. Therefore, I have picked some of these before they were entirely bright red. The bacterial leaf spot disease is likely the cause of this.



Pepper plant #1 - almost done with the first harvest. Plant will then be destroyed!

Pepper plant #3 - waiting for its 5 peppers to turn red.

Pepper plant #2 - ripening in full gear.

Herbs all doing well out in front of the peppers. I'll be looking to add new things to the garden as the pepper plants finish their first harvest over the next week or two.
