LAYERS OF GRASSY, FRUITY, FLORAL, AND spicy notes in peppers and chilies bring food to life. Eating becomes exciting when a touch of fiery spice explodes on your palate, a smoky firecracker to awaken the senses.

When we’re feeling tame, we’ll harvest a handful of sweet peppers from the garden and enjoy their fruity accents in stir-fries and salads. A spectrum of sweet banana, pimento, and bell pepper colors stretch across the garden like a double rainbow after a rain. Wherever we have extra space in the garden, you’ll find a mini patch of peppers ripening in the warm afternoon sun.
