Plenty of Peppers

Heirloom California Wonder Peppers

These peppers grew beautifully.

***

During the first week of June...
I purchased 3 individual seedlings from my local farm stand.

(Crow Farm in Sandwich)

The healthy little seedlings were about 6" tall.

I planted them in the evening beside my patio.

Exposer: full sun

I would faithfully

water them every late afternoon.

(unless it rained - which it did a lot!)

Around each plant I sprinkled fresh coffee grounds.

Every other week I fed them with

Cockadoodledoodoo tea.

(I've stopped feeding them)

We haven't had a killing frost and they're still growing strong.

I just love when they turn sweet red.

The more the peppers ripen the better they are for you too.

***

Nutrition Facts that I googled ...

Peppers are full of vitamins C and A,

as well as folate.

They are also high in fiber.

Peppers consist mostly of water so the added bonus is they are low in calories.
