First year growing peppers. Outside of picking some Biquinhos and Jalapenos for cooking and pickling, I've been waiting for most of my peppers to ripen.

Today, I finally harvested the ripe peppers from my Cayenne and Jalapeno. While the Jalapeno only had 12 ripe peppers as I picked about 10 still green early in the season to pickle, I got a whopping 29 peppers from my Cayenne plant. I took a bite out of the first one picked and oh my god, ot tastes sooo good. Sweet with just the right amount of spice.

I plan on setting up both to ferment tomorrow to make some Louisiana style sauce with my Cayenned and Sriracha from the Jalapenos.

Habaneros need a few more days to get enough ripe so that I can start a ferment with those too.
