Believe it or not, the orange and red peppers, are banana peppers, I have no idea where the color comes from.

As big as 6 I think. Could be bigger. Man, if u didn't lose the littlest one's to attrition, this would be overwhelming to say the least! The smallest usually have some damage, might be why they stopped growing, they get wrinkled fast. Got and order for tomatoes and banana peppers, happy to oblige.

I don't think these things are ever going to stop producing, they just keep sending out branches and flowering.

These are supposed to be "low lying" plants, and I figured if they aren't going to get more than 3-4 feet of the ground I wouldn't need a tomato cage, but now I think I should have at least staked some of them out just to keep the fruit off the ground. Some have damage to the bottom of the tomato where it sat in the dirt. As you can see the branches have filled in the middle again, where I cut them back, and since we are still getting 90 degree weather, I'm not going to cut any at this time,

Next year I plan to use a stake and fence technique that I think will work really well with this type of plant and allow for more branches, as they develop.

The peppers are still growing and flowering also although the jalapenos are mild they are quite flavorful.

Unbelievable! 6 days ago they were all green, and this is the biggest bunch so far!
