The peppers are done.

I wrote quite a bit about peppers this year.  I started several from seed early in the year.  They went into the ground in April and didn't do well.  I had to start more from seed in May.  Eventually I got peppers to grow and was able to get several good harvests.  Well, they are finally done.  Somehow they managed to survive the first frost, but not this most recent one.  It got down into the 20's and when I came out in the morning it was obvious that they were dead.
The kale and cabbage are doing fine.
 


My cell phone takes lousy pictures in the morning when the sun isn't over the garden.  The picture below was taken at a different time and is a little better. 
I'm actually impressed that the peppers lasted as long as they did.  They outlasted pretty much everything else and made it mid-November.  The only stuff out there now is the kale and cabbage that I planted for a Fall garden.
