Peppers are loving this weather

Today we picked an abundance of peppers, shishito, bell, sweet and hot banana, jalapenos, and lunch box peppers. We processed some of the hot peppers but had  homemade pizza with fresh peppers too.
Even though it's been in the low 90's for 2 straight weeks, peppers love this as opposed to the upper 90's. These peppers will produce til the first frost too,  so we have 6 more weeks of enjoying these beautiful peppers.
Also, we are in the process of putting together a list of what we will be selling this fall.
We have an abundance of most (Strawberry fig jam, pepper jelly) but there are a few items we sold last year that are in limited supply. ( garlic dill pickles, zucchini peach jam)
Also because of our awesome fig harvest, we created fig preserves and fig jelly which are delicious.
Look for this list on the blog later next week.

Pickle time

We finally  processed several cookings of pickles this week. The cucumber season has definitely been strange in that usually we finish with the cucumbers the latter part of July. 
This year the season was difficult to say the least with too much water then not enough water. In the end though, we made the garlic dill pickles that everyone loved last year.
