And Padrons get hotter the longer they stay on the plants, the red ones will probably be quite spicy and I don't think that they taste as good as the green ones.

We even have one friend who doesn't eat "green" things but he'll eat or at least try any green veggie that I serve him. You do have to try Padrons, they even do well in large containers. The beauty of growing them is that you harvest the peppers very immature so that the plant doesn't need a long growing seasonMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-88965485241999003792012-08-22T20:54:48.246-07:002012-08-22T20:54:48.246-07:00I've read your posts about what you cook up wi...I've read your posts about what you cook up with the goodies from your garden and it sounds like you eat quite well!

Actually, it seems like July and August have been foggier and cooler than usual, although not as cold as last year. The capers have enjoyed the slightly warmer weather, although I did move the potted ones to a spot next to a somewhat south facing wall so they are happier this year.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-41867101061789538662012-08-22T11:48:30.413-07:002012-08-22T11:48:30.413-07:00I think we've had Padrons for almost every din...I think we've had Padrons for almost every dinner since I got back -- and I ate last night's leftovers for breakfast!
