My garden

[ShrekDawg]

First time really growing anything, tried once before a few years ago but the animals ate them and planted in a bad spot.

First time starting as seeds/having a proper garden.

Anyway, my vegetables are thriving! Also have tomatoes and peppers starting to grow! And look at all those flowers! Going to be way more too! I can't wait!



We also have corn growing next to the chickens and sunflowers in the front LOL cracked corn or bird seed spills I suppose. I'm going to let it keep growing.



And herbs inside, might transplant them.

And I started more sunflower seeds cause I love them lol

[Kiki]

Jalapeno peppers?

 

[ShrekDawg]

My husband mostly admires how pretty they are! I can't eat them since they foul up my digestion. So i only have 2 plants. He likes them on pizza, the peppers that is.

Aww sorry you can't eat them!

Pizza is a good idea, I never thought of that.

I was thinking maybe stuffed peppers too or sauteed or even pickled but I've never pickled or canned. They are bell peppers but I have some hot ones growing too, can't remember what kind lol

I use bell peppers almost daily.
Bell pepper, onion and garlic go in just about everything I cook, so my recipe list is wayyyyy too long to share.
Raw bell peppers in salads and or on a sandwich is good too.

Lol that's okay! I might just have to experiment and find out
