Picked the bigger chile,jalapeño,bells today to make pepper jelly next week. 3 batches or maybe 2 and freeze a batch to make latter. Had picked a couple of chile and bells before. The deli peppers are finally turning orange. Hopefully will get another week or two in the hoop. Have smaller peppers I left to see if they get any size. I have a helpful neighbor who will get the extra chile to roast and he usually gets several jars of pepper jelly as well. I will freeze extra bells. Food bank will get jalapeño extra. Pocket gopher ate part of several bells, chile and a tomato. Don't see any damage to jalapeño. Guess I will have to start trapping next Spring. I left them alone as long as they stayed out by the road or in pasture but they have bothered squash, tomato,peppers and potatoes so far in garden. Time to declare War!
