Somehow I question your sincerity....

I find the only way to get a long season of ripe peppers is to start with big seedlings that are started early. Store boughs just will not do it.

I usually start mine the end of February at the same time as my tomatoes,( which have not been getting ripe, but I have loads of green ones), so I think the best solution is to follow your example Cat and start them both well earlier than usual.
I'm hatching a plot for a new seed starting system, so maybe next years garden will be PHENOMENAL!!
Bwaahahahaha!

I don't start my tomatoes too early as they get leggy. Though. I usually cannot hold myself back too long. But eggplant and peppers are started Jan or Feb. My peppers and eggplant are my best ever. And it has been such a weird summer. I have a ton of tomatoes, too, but they were late coming like everyone else's.

I have found with any of my peppers that when they get to color they are often spoiled inside. There seems to be a fine line between ripe and overripe.

To the Fushimi pepper growers. So I have a thousand ( only slightly exaggerated) of these stunning sweet peppers. I am thinking of roasting them and them freezing them in small bags. I am not sure I want to try drying them. Any thoughts?

I don't think I had quite that many Fushimi. Ha!

Stir-fry veggies are too common in this house for too many sweet peppers to be much of a problem. With the tomatoes, surplus begin to go in the bags of pasta sauce beginning about now.
