Dang birds

Well, the finches love the Tepin peppers. They stripped all the ripe ones off the pepper plants in about two hours.
I'll have to watch the last bush and grab the peppers pretty much as they turn.
Hopefully the birds will spread the seeds *everywhere* for next season :)
I was looking forward to using them in soups, too.

Do you have some fine-hole netting or such you can cover them with?

Oh, I don't mind sharing - but the birds pretty much got *all* the Tepin peppers except for one plant that hasn't ripened yet :)

Birds can't taste capsaicin. To them, they are a tasty sweet treat.

Yep, I've spiked birdseed with cayenne pepper to discourage squirrels :)
