Alliterating Peppers

There is something about peppers that invite alliteration. It all started when “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers…”

Personally I prefer my peppers un-pickled,

Enticingly edible, eatable and esculent,

Perfectly pleasant,

Pretty, pleasing and plump,

Effortlessly enjoyed and

Raw

How about you?

You win some, you lose some, Pepper Pests

Oh look at you go you gardener you! And I saw what you did there – not only alliteration but also ‘pepper’. Too clever!! And the carrots, left over from the tiny gardeners efforts I presume? Your peppers are so big and dark green and shiny – yum! I shall just have to imagine one in my salad this evening……… heavens to murgatroyd, my mouth is watering ……

        I haven’t seen it for years, but the images stick and so does that expression 🙂

        I’m a huge fan. I used to watch all the movies in reruns on TV in high school. I can just see you laughing till you cry too. That’s me!

  I wish you could pop over for some peppers to take home for your evening salad. Next year I’ll plant the peppers earlier so they have more time to turn orange before the temperatures drop.
  
  Yes, carrots from the curb garden (I planted plenty of extras) and I’m now seeing a few peas on the vine! Wow this has been fun.
  
  Thanks for the smiles you bring to your comments, Pauline.
  
  I was tempted to call you Pauline P. Pepper…but I won’t. 😉

I love my Peppers

Salted
In Pasta Sauce
Zippy
Zesty
Lip smacking
Every Colour
Delectable

But especially

Robust
Enticing
Delicious

I generally put my peppers in a pan with onions, basil, crushed garlic and cherry tomatoes then toss with pasta….I just have to have carbs…and lot’s of them. What a haul!

        I had to chuckle all the way through these comments. Who knew that alliteration would lead to pasta with peppers, quantum leep travel, and the Pink Panther!!!

Hi there fellow gardener! I know how you can keep all the peppers you grow! Use Epsom Salt around your pepper plants and tomato plants too and it will make them greener and healthier. No bottom rot on any tomatoes or peppers when you sprinkle the Epsom Salt around the plants a little every week. We did it this entire gardening season and we had NO rotten veggies! Come check us out at http://www.nikitaland.wordpress.com and look up our garden posts! 🙂
