Lots of Peppers

Tonight went out and picked a ton of peppers and a few tomatoes as well.  The peppers are all starting to ripen at once.  In the picture below you can see the jimmy nardallo peppers.  There are 34 peppers in that picture.  I also had a few chocolate ones and some sweet Hungarian ones. 
 
The tomato experiment worked!  A little over a week ago, tore out about half of the plants I had planted in the garden and then proceeded to cut back hard the one I did leave.  I figured that there was too much foliage and not enough tomatoes.  By cutting back the plant I hoped that it would trigger the tomatoes to ripen because the plant was “dying”, and it worked.  I picked about a dozen and there are more ripening.
Below are the chocolate peppers.
