Sweet Peppers (Bell Peppers)

There are four plants in the garden, planted 1 June 2008 from purchased seedlings. Some have been used during the summer, and the last were picked today, since cold weather (frost) is due any day. No bugs attacked these peppers, which is rare in my experience.

I also like to grow these as we use them regularly and you can keep them on the plant until you need them so they are always at their freshest.

Can't imagine my garden without them. Roast capsicum is on the menu often here. YOu can turn it into soup, add to pizza topping, salads, dip - eat it with fish or chicken or meat. I love it on bruschetta with garlic and olive oil brushed/rubbed on - the reddest, homegrown tomato squeezed into it and roast caps to top. Delicious, easy - my grandsons love it too

Envious. I don't have much luck with them because the damn Queensland Fruit Fly like them more than tomatoes! This year I'm growing some in pots that I can cover entirely with netting as I'm determined not to share them!
