A Plethora of Pepperoncini

I have four varieties of pepper plants on the upper deck this summer: One hot (mirasol), the other three less so. The two padron plants are doing well. The mirasol is slow, but steady. It has two peppers that are nearly ready to pick. I started the Japanese variety from seed late, and they haven’t blossomed yet. The big surprise is the pepperoncini plant. It’s going berserk. This morning I went out and picked these off the plant. These are destined to be pickled.

One plant, one morning’s harvest.
