Bulgarian Carrot Pepper

It has been awhile since my last post, but the truth is, although things are starting to slow down with the garden (now that it's October), we're still seeing some firsts.

Among these firsts is our Bulgarian Carrot peppers. It has taken until early October for us to get our first Bulgarian Carrot pepper. Unfortunately, the first one was cracked and not in the best shape, but the second one (shown in the picture above) is perfect. We haven't tasted it yet, but I'm sure it's going to be spicy. You can definitely see how it got its name.

We have also picked our first Jimmy Nardello pepper. I didn't manage to get a picture of it before we ate it, but we have another one ripening now, so I'm sure I'll get a picture then to post. The Jimmy Nardellos are really nice and sweet, pretty much like a typical red pepper. They're definitely worth growing again.

That's all the news I have for now, but I believe Jennifer is planning on posting a lovely beet soup recipe we made in the near future. Stay tuned for that.
