Hi Cindy, thank...Kelly, THREE - remember I agreed!<br /><br />Hi Cindy, thanks for visiting! Thank you for the kind thoughts, they are greatly appreciated.<br /><br />The author, yes at least you can make bread out of zucchini - oooh, maybe I should try jalapeno bread - it will be like my jalapeno cornbread only MORE SO LOL!<br /><br />Hi Karl! Thanks for returning, that has happened to me before.<br /><br />Hi Anna & Kimmi, thanks for stopping by! Anna, honestly if we were to stop and think too much about botulism and such, nothing would ever get preserved lol, I just follow the timing in a canning book, keep a clean work area, and remember that I grew up eating this stuff and never croaked LOL.... just get yourself a trusted easy basic book like the Ball Book of canning and start there - you can opt for a pressure canner which is more $ but will give you even further piece of mind. Kimmi, I have had others say that my pepper plants produce waaaay more than what gives in other areas of the country, so you never know until you try, good luck!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-58071539113854764032010-08-25T20:06:20.069-04:002010-08-25T20:06:20.069-04:00I'm going to need more pepper plants next year...I'm going to need more pepper plants next year also.

Your post gives me ideas. Started drying some too. Perhaps we need to begin a Peppers Anonymous group.

I was originally planning three jalapenos, one cayenne and two each of the other 4 varieties I planted- a easy dozen plants. Then my husband intervened- the WRONG WAY!! We ended up planting 20 plants! We've now got more hot peppers than I can cope with!! Sadly, the sweet bells have been a total bust. I picked the one and only pepper the 5 plants had managed to produce. And it wasn't even very good.<br />Maybe next year I'll get the peppers under control- I'll just have to not ask his opinion!! Then to work on the tomatoes......<br />JudyJudy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-70796294764151188762010-08-24T20:21:56.297-04:002010-08-24T20:21:56.297-04:00You are preaching to the choir.

Either that or some of us will have to make a point of sneaking into your garden under the cover of night next season and absconding with any pepper plants you put in. This has got to be stopped before someone gets hurt.
