Day 4
Abort!
I lost about 1.5 tomatoes to mold or rot overnight (it got a little cool and humid) so I quickly discarded the bad ones and ushered the remainder into the oven. They've been slowly cooking at 170 degrees all day.
In retrospect, it probably was just rot and I could have left the rest of them outside to finish, but we're only expected to be around 70-75 degrees for the next few days...which is a little cooler than ideal.
Also, some of the tomatoes that I used were over-ripe and a few of the guides I read specifically advised against using over-ripe tomatoes because they tend to rot before finishing.
Anyway, these are staying in the oven until they're done. I'll try another batch outside when we have a few warmer days forecast.
This is the first red pepper that I have ever grown in my entire life.
Fuckin' take that mother nature!
