Pepper harvesting slowed this week with only 14 red peppers. There are only a handful of peppers left on plants #1 and #2 which I am waiting for to ripen. One trend the past week or two has been ripening of very small immature peppers. Andy and I think this is likely due to the bacterial disease. Plant #3 has been removed and placed in waiting to go where all diseased plants must eventually go. I have been storing the red peppers in the freezer and they have now been passed on to Andy who will take care of the drying process to create red pepper flakes. I did eat a pepper on a cheeseburger this week and it was quite delicious! (See photos below) Last night I took just a single bite of a red pepper and it was like an erupting volcano! Here is the official pepper count:
Pepper Plant #1: 62
Pepper Plant #2: 72
Pepper PLant #3: 9
Total Peppers Harvested: 143

| Look at all the seeds. |

| Garnish for a grilled cheeseburger. The heat was very manageable on the burger. It actually seemed quite tame until I finished the burger - THEN the hotness really kicked in. |

| Spearmint "vines". |

| Herbs all continue to do well and now have a little more breathing room. |
