Something I have learned and works very well, is stick your unripe peppers in a brown paper bag and put in either some almost ripe peppers or some almost rip tomatoes. Something with whatever the ripening fruit puts off, helps the unripe fruit to ripen(Peter Piper Picked a Pack of Pickled Peppers...HAHAHAHAHAHA).

Does running your peppers through the dehydrator whole like you show in your photos work? I would have thought you would need to slit the skins, at the very least.
Love the pictures! I wish my pepper harvest last year had turned out as well. I got a lot of slug damage due to the excessive amount of rain we got. :P
Jill...For the most part, the peppers I put in the dehydrator were thin skinned, or at least small peppers. For larger peppers, you need to cut them into pieces. I dried some bell peppers and jalapenos and they havd to by cut into pieces, but dehydrated fine.
Good luck with your peppers this year!
how many pepper plants did you plant last year, kinds and yield????
what are you planning for this year/2010?
Thanks :D
I started about 1200 pepper plants in the greenhouse. Of the 1200, 140+ pepper plants were planted in the garden. There were 40+ different varieties. As far as harvest, I did not weigh all the peppers i picked, but if I were to just guess, I would say 150-200lbs of peppers, if not more. Alot of the peppers were dried and made into powder. I put cayenn on just about everything.
This year, we are only going to have about 30 kinds, most of which will be grown in buckets. Come back later for more on 2010.
You have a lot of great looking peppers!
