Peter gathered all the green chilies we had growing out in the garden and I was surprised to see almost a full bowl of chilies! There was no way the two of us could use that many chilies so we decided to share some and give them away as presents. We gathered bunches of peppers together and created custom packets for each. We experimented with simple paper/tape techniques, different ways to tie thread and finished it off with an ink-jet sticker label.

Wow! Did you grow all these? I’m impressed! They look great!
We grow all sorts of herbs and veggies in the summer like tarragon, basil, mint, tomatoes, corn, strawberries… It’s Peter who has the green thumb in the family, I just like to eat them! =)

Hi! Just came across your blog…absolutely love it. Adding you to my sidebar links on my blog:)
This post is so creative- I love it!

Thanks! We made them on a whim and they turned out better than expected.
Love this idea!!! Now if only I could get the plants in my garden to actually grow…but alas, they all seem to die. Not sure yet if its my “black thumb” or the insane summer temps here in AZ!
