While the autumn leaves are beautiful my favorite fall colors are late harvest peppers. Such rich colors. Freeze coming tonight and tomorrow night so I had to pick peppers and eggplant. Great table centerpiece.

Very pretty
I think the full one month extra you got compared to my garden makes all the difference in being able to harvest red peppers. My hot peppers all colored ups-are coloring up AFTER they had to be brought inside as I mentioned elsewhere.
With bell and other sweet peppers, I have to make sure to grow fast maturing varieties or else I would barely get a handful of colored peppers from each plant and have to harvest the rest green.
