If one could survive on jalapenos alone...

Here, have some! Our very cute and tasty carrots This is about 1/4 of the jalapenos that we got!
How much guacamole can one family eat?Our garden is done. We did pretty well though we did not get as many cucumbers as I would like to have gotten. We, on the other hand, had so many jalapenos that I still do not know what to do with them. My carrots were very cute, nothing like what you see in the store. Same went with the broccoli, we harvested many small florets that were very tasty, but very small.
While we were away on vacation some of the broccoli went to flower (which makes for very bitter broccoli. Always harvest before any sign of going to flower). The flowers are very small, cute, and yellow AND they also attract butterflies galore! So, we left them. We are enjoying the butterflies and the occasional bumblebee.
Broccoli will definitely be a constant in our future gardens. Jalapenos will be there as well. Except next year, only one plant will be necessary.

Yummy! Can you freeze the jalapenos? Or maybe can them?
