The yellow banana peppers are coming on now in the garden and here is what was picked today on our kitchen counter. We grew these last year and really enjoyed their sweet flavor in salads and snack trays. Yum. Gonna try a new flavor adventure on these guys by trying a new recipe of pickling on them. I also did a search on Google and stumbled on this wonderful site, “Insanely Good” with 10 recipes for banana peppers. Now, I am going to have to try all of them, cause they look so good.
The starts looked like this, just after their transplant in the middle of May 2023. You can tell that we loved their flavor last year so we saved a lot of seed and did many starts for both our garden and the North County Food Pantry garden. They are producing very well in the middle of July, about 60 days after their initial transplant.
Happy light green peppers that continue growing into longer and yellower fellows on the vine. They are a bright yellow when they are ready to pick. We will have an abundance of these tasty little guys this year. We can eat them fresh, dehydrate and freeze them, or pickle them.
