My peppers...colors of the rainbow

SM and I got home from our trip to visit family and our pepper plants had many surprises for us. I was so excited to go and pick all these peppers off of our pepper plants. I love the colors and had to take some pictures.
The above red smallish peppers are jalapeno. And they are hot. I got some of the pepper oil under a fingernail and it burned for a couple days. Next time I will remember to wear gloves while cutting these hot peppers.
I've used these peppers in fresh salsa and in other dinner dishes. The dark purple peppers have white flesh. The red peppers are really sweet. We have all sizes and all colors. It's so much fun!
