Thanks AB and Kayelle! I think I'll sit and stare at the peppers a while longer. Many good ideas, something will come to me.

A good idea, Kayelle! These are green, would they be as good as red?
You could drop them on a neighbors porch, ring the bell and run!

Sure. All a red pepper is, is a very ripe green pepper. All peppers are green at the beginning. Leave them on the vine long enough, and they will ripen to their true color.
This is true but nonetheless, green peppers don't taste the same.
Orange ones are fully ripe. They are a different variety from the red ones and so are the yellow ones.Where do orange peppers come in the line up of maturity?
What am I doing? Not sleeping. Grrr
I just recently discovered colored peppers. I always bought green, and I only like them cooked, as in stuffed peppers. I recently bought some colored ones and now they are my favorite. Took 68 years to figure that out.
One time I bought orange and yellow pepper plants. Only got 2 small pepper from each one. Back to the grocery store! LOL
Wow. Do you ever travel, Carol? I discovered colored peppers about 30 years ago visiting my mom at her house in the Florida Keys. There was a farmer's market near her house and they had five colors of peppers - green, red, yellow, orange and purple. Only 5 for $1. I couldn't believe it. I bought a couple dozen, brought them home and roasted and froze them.
