I picked about half of a 5 gallon pail of red and green peppers yesterday too, thinking things would be frozen today. I just finished cutting them up and blanching them and put them in the freezer for winter use. I saved a few that I can use fresh. I also gave about a half of a grocery bag of them away to friends yesterday. I have about a doz. egg plants waiting for me to do something with them. I also picked another 5 gallon pail of tomatoes, with much more of them still out there, but I have had all the canning I'm going to do. I'll puree these and freeze them. I think it will be colder tonight if we loose the cloud cover.
