First frost

  This morning, I peered out the window at daylight & saw frost not only on our banana leaves but frost in the garden on our peppers! The thermoment read 34. Oh my!  I was happy to see that winter has finally arrived to Austin but a little melancholy to know it's the last day for my garden's summer bounty.

First frost of the season! 

 I knew that if I didn't harvest those delicate perishables today they'd be mush tomorrow.  I postponed all day as I always hate to pick the last of anything.  This evening, after picking every tomato and pepper I could find, I was a little surprised to see the total & can't resist passing along a photograph on to our blog.  I counted an even 100 peppers and a colander full of little tomatoes in varying degrees of red to yellow to green. 

I was pretty surprised at the total. Now, my problem for this weekend...just what the heck to do with 100 peppers???

Any ideas?
