I know, I’ve been saying for weeks that these lovely peppers are on their way out, but this time, I mean it.
We’re due to get our first freeze this week or over the weekend, and that means no more rainbows of peppers for us. But don’t despair! Fall and winter means tons of gorgeous greens and baskets heavy with apples and root veggies!
