One of our summer projects at Madfish was a pepper garden. Sadly, it didn't last. The heat and not enough water ultimately caused its demise, but I wanted to share some pictures of the plants and the 'harvest' in its once-upon-a-time glory.
The peppers in the above picture were what we got the most of... we picked cayennes, red hot cherries and serranos almost weekly. We never really used these in any of our dishes, but the boys in the kitchen made some great spicy salsas!
The garden just before the leaves starting getting yellow :)
Our final crop. Red, yellow, orange and green bells plus a couple of hot banana peppers and poblanos. I would like to try to peppers again next year, but maybe in pots instead to hold the moisture.
Any ideas on another 'crop' that we could plant come fall? Our spot is in full sun most of the day, which can be tough. I was thinking some different kinds of lettuce... ?
