Growing Peppers – Part 2: Rain, Preserving, Seed Saving, Eating is the 59th episode of Late Bloomer |Urban Organic Garden Show. If you watched Part 1, you won’t want to miss the conclusion of my pepper story. It’s New Year’s Day and 37° and Kaye recounts fall pepper events in the Late Bloomer garden. Raccoons terrorized for months and were humanely, professionally relocated from the front yard garden. Last harvests and best of all, Kaye tries a Long Red Cayenne pepper.

Kaye’s New Year’s Day Veggie Scramble
2 large, organic, farm fresh eggs, whipped lightly
1 small Ping Tung Long eggplant, cut in bite-size pieces
1/2 c. mushrooms, chopped (my favorite is Beech mushrooms, but any will do)
1 small scallion, chopped
1 small Poblano pepper, seeds removed, chopped
1 small Serrano pepper, seeds removed, chopped
Grated or crumbled cultured cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste
Use coconut oil or ghee to coat the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes, over medium heat.
Pour in eggs, gently lifting to prevent sticking. Cook to desired doneness, fold in cheese. Enjoy!

I hope this episode inspires you to try growing peppers! They are colorful, and bring cheer to the garden with a minimum of effort (once you get aphids under control on early plants! See Part 1.) Please let me know if you try growing peppers, what variety, and what starter medium you used. Did you give Diatomaceous Earth a try? Thanks so much for watching and stay tuned for Episode #60, the last of Season 3.
