2 California Wonder Bell Peppers

10 Giuseppe Mild Green Chiles

7 Big Jim Green Chiles

There's many more Bell peppers still on the plants, but I'm hoping they start turning red before the weather forces me to pick them.

Edit: Apparently the tape measure is weird? I dunno, it looks like a normal tape measure to me? I think it might seem weird because it's upside down? Here's the same pic rotated:

I guess the tape measure is fine, but this would have been better with a banana pepper for scale (͡•_ ͡• )

    I know, right! How big is that tape measure?

    Some tape measures can grow to be 30+ bananas long, but this one seems only partially extended. It's just a guess, but based on that I would say the peppers are somewhere between three and six bananas long, which is very impressive for OP. That's approaching one golden retriever.
