The bell peppers have been harvested. Since the weather was getting chilly, and we were having guests over last night, I decided it was time to use the peppers. And so they began their final journey: picked, washed, cut up, and cooked in a steamy pot of spaghetti sauce (with some home-grown basil to boot). It easily fed our party of eight, and I even got to freeze a couple containers for future meals. There are still some peppers and herbs to harvest, but all in all, a happy ending to my first gardening season!
On another note, I realized (again) last night that there is something extremely gratifying to me about feeding a group of people, and creating space for friendships and community to grow. For some reason, the combination of a hearty meal and good conversation gives me warm fuzzies every time.
