Fall's last hurrah -- green peppers

As much as I enjoy gardening, I cannot seem to grow a decent produce garden.  Our tomatoes failed miserably this year because we have so many trees.  The one sunny area that we have is taken up with my perennials.  The herbs I planted (with the exception of rosemary) were all scrawny and listless.   The only tomatoes that seem to grow well are the little Israeli ones that grow from seeds in our compost and had lots of growth but few tomatoes.

In an act of desperation, I planted several green pepper plants in my perennial garden long after planting season.  They were on sale (less than a dollar for each plant) at Lowes and I felt sorry for the little stragglers.  Despite very little care from me, they quickly overtook my pink pentas and started producing hundreds of green peppers. I've been trying out all kinds of recipes with green peppers and giving them away to anyone who looks mildly interested.  We've had green peppers filled with rice,ground beef and tomatoes.  Lunch, egg salad with green peppers, was fantastic.  Last night's spaghetti was enriched with green peppers.  I'm planning to have an omelette tomorrow for breakfast.  I'm planning recipes for the next week and I still won't have used all the peppers.
