Grow food if you can. Its always worth it. I grow a decent amount of vegetables on a tiny city lot in containers along the driveway. It’s prime pepper harvest season even though it’s beginning of October. #peppers #containergarden #garden #growfood

A small strainer full of hot peppers, including jalapeño habanero, and Serano pepper. Also shown is a large Serrano pepper plant grown in a simple black container.

A blue ceramic bowl holds jalapeño peppers, Serranos and habaneros along with a handful of banana peppers. It’s been a good year for peppers in Minnesota.
