But hey, if it tastes fine, eat it! I just harvested some weird looking cauliflower that I dubbed funkyflower, it looks weird but tastes fine. It's very correct to eat "ugly" veggies lately, but home gardeners are way ahead of that game, we love all our veggies, lovely or ugly.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544358755192295336.post-35742614572407476602015-07-27T15:23:43.295-07:002015-07-27T15:23:43.295-07:00The red pimientos are from the greenhouse, but I h...The red pimientos are from the greenhouse, but I have plenty of orange / red Hungarian hot wax outside in containers - but I did start them from seed quite early indoors so probably a bit ahead of you by a week or two.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354350096358468967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544358755192295336.post-31947125962265600102015-07-27T15:22:17.479-07:002015-07-27T15:22:17.479-07:00Thanks for the info on rhubarb ... yes, maybe it g...Thanks for the info on rhubarb ... yes, maybe it gets stringy but if I'm cooking it anyway, maybe not a big deal.

And look at those peppers - I can't believe you already have some that are ripening to red! I'm hoping to pick a few of the Hungarian hot wax soon, they are still a bit greenish, so I'm waiting until they yellow up. And a couple of my potato plant varieties seem to be dying back - I'll be waiting a bit longer, but I really can't wait to see what I dig up!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544358755192295336.post-90623448908290740402015-07-27T10:09:47.798-07:002015-07-27T10:09:47.798-07:00I love the look of the deeply fluted peppers.

I think they tell you that because it gets stringier. Though I could be wrong about that. I've never hated the texture of the older stalks, so I just make sure I don't pick too many later in the season.

I don't can pickled peppers anymore, just do the refrigerator treatment like you did. They seem to keep for a long time that way, and taste a bit more fresh since they aren't processed.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544358755192295336.post-33320724444653027412015-07-27T08:01:59.982-07:002015-07-27T08:01:59.982-07:00Nice looking harvest!
