SHISHITO PEPPERS - Grow your own!

[EricV.]

Since I cannot seem to find Shishito peppers where I live, I decided to take matters into my own hands.


Back in late winter, early spring I made this planter stand out of treated 2 x 4’s that I had left over from a previous project.


A trip to the Tractor Supply store, (4) 5-gallon food grade plastic buckets & Shishito pepper plants from Bonnie Plants.


Three months later, harvest time!


Picked these today, still more to be picked.


Mixed with some EVO, Sesame oil & some soy sauce, on to a scorching slotted Lodge CI skillet, 5 minutes.


Topped with some coarse sea salt, sesame seeds & scallion, enjoy!

Very cool, surprised you can’t get them, they are everywhere over here.
Now I want some.

With a La Gloria Cubana and a martini, no less!!!

My jalapenos are just popping fruit, with my poblanos not far behind!

Living in the rural Midwest, MO to be exact does present some challenges from time to time. Besides tornados, we have an abundance of Wal-Mart stores to shop at, no Costco's.

No peppers yet but it’s going to get hot so they should take off soon.

Very clever raised bed!

Excellent on the bed and the cook.

I don't, I don't have any tomato plants.

Just put the peppers in a jar with a clove of garlic with simple vinegar solution and refrigerate. Ready in about a week.
