Randy McGee at Faith2Farm invited everyone to the pick-your-own harvest, which runs from 10 a.m. To 2 p.m. At 1511 County Road 7140. The garden has a remaining crop and wants to share it with the Lubbock community before colder weather arrives, rather than let the peppers go to waste.
Three varieties are up for grabs. Jalapeños work in homemade salsa, stuffed peppers or on nachos. Anaheims are milder and good for roasting or stuffing. Serranos, smaller than jalapeños, generally pack considerably more heat.
There's no admission charge and no need to register. Just show up. Organizers ask you to bring your own bags or containers, and since you're picking straight from the plants, comfortable shoes and gardening gloves are a smart idea. Anyone planning a big batch of salsa can fill up for nothing.
The only cap on this harvest is how much you can carry.
