Bell Peppers are looking great and almost ready to harvest! When the first harvest of peppers takes place there is a very distinct smell that I love, it hits your nose as you walk into the cooler and you know exactly what it is. I immediately think, it is time to stuff some bell peppers, not only is it easy to do, but my kids and I both love to eat them. Blueberries are being heavily harvested at the moment so I hope yall enjoy those because the strawberries are officially done. We had an okay season with a few highs and lows, but hopefully yall enjoyed them, they can be so delicate at times. Tomatoes getting very close and I promise as soon as we are harvesting enough they will be in your boxes.
