2023 WH2's garden

[wiperhunter2]

I wish I had know this when I was growing bell peppers. Sounds like it has worked out well for you though, congrats on such a great harvest.

We use the peppers in most of our stir fry meals with a cauliflower rice base. We slice them into strips and vacuum pack them, enough for each recipe, then freeze them. I've tried freeze drying them, but they don't rehydrate very nicely so I think it works out better to make nice flat, stackable, packages. 

We're still working on getting the GH cleared out and put to bed for the winter. Also I need to move some lilies bulbs. Have one that just doesn't get enough light where it is now. Also, we'll remove the front bucket from the tractor and install the snowblower, so it'll be ready when we need it. It's not a difficult job, just another thing to be done.

So you don't blanch the bell pepper first for freezing them? Sounds like you two are staying busy. I'll be digging up my garden next, to put leaves in them before Winter. I've been putting things away and getting things done outside before Winter hits.
