Today I am mourning the loss of some 30 Jamaican Red peppers.  We
hadn't had rain for quite some time.  Finally we did, and bye bye to
the pepper plant.  I found the poor thing out in the garden looking
like some one got a piece of plywood and dropped it on the plant, with
the leaves stems and peppers laying on the ground in a perfect circle.
The 3 major limbs broke leaving them only hanging on by a thin
membrane of skin.

There is a few stems still attached to the plant with a few peppers.
So it looks like it is not completely dead.  I still have one more
Jamaican red plant alive.  My Hab plant is looking pretty bad as well.
But luckily I grew way too many peppers last year and have hab cubes
in the freezer so it isn't that bad.

I think it the plant would have been fine if I had grown it in a cage
instead of stakeing it up.  Something I will remember for next year.

I was wondering If any one had any ideas on what to do with the 30+
green peppers I have  now?  Should I pick them off the plant?  Maybe
hang them in my garage and hope they will get red?

pick himself back up.
