after what seemed like a very long and tiresome weekend, we were finally able to get back out in the garden and do some much needed picking!
our black plum and san marzano paste tomatoes are doing really well right now, and some of our cherokee purples are still making it.
also, the jalapenos have kicked off to an unbelievable degree (i got 20 large ones from one plant yesterday, still leaving tons of medium-sized and smaller ones)!
some of the cayennes were ripe and also some of our aji peppers (a delicious pepper that jason and i learned to love while we were in peru).
my heavy picking basket, filled with tomatoes, peppers, and some basil.
after picking,i estimated that i got about 20 pounds of these ingredients all together. i made a blended up, salsa-like concoction that we’ve frozen to use in sops and pastes in the future. it’s probably very spicy (considering the amount of jalapenos in it), so it will have to be added to other ingredients when we cook with it.
yum!
