Farmer Ayraud's garden

This is a small hot pepper from my garden. Jules cuts them up, mixes them in with dill pickle relish which he eats with every meal. I also have snow peas, had bush beans (till they froze), various kinds of lettuce, brocolli and tomatoes. To keep the tomatoes and peppers from freezing, I draped them with large Christmas tree lights and covered them with sheets, making a little mini hot house. Snow peas aren't as frost sensitive and do well just covered with a sheet. We've had quite a few freezes this year. My big crop of course are the oranges, I am picking and starting to juice now.
