Harvest: Thai Dragon Peppers
27-Sep-2005
I’ve been picking Thai Dragon Peppers all summer. They really add a nice little bit of heat to just about any sort of dish. As I’ve had extras I’ve set them aside to dry – you really don’t have to do anything special at all. Just toss them somewhere where the air can circulate around them.
Now we are in the early days of fall – the days are now shorter than the nights, the temperatures are dropping into the 40s and even 30s at night – the plants are giving their last little push to produce as much as possible.
My pepper plants are no longer setting buds, and are putting all their energy into finishing what they’ve started. Over the last few weeks the Thai Dragons have been turning red in record numbers!
Every day or two I pick a handful or two, set them on this rack and then forget about them. In a few weeks I’ll package them up for storage.
All winter they will be there for me – bringing a little summer heat to my winter meals.
