Picking peppers on Pine Island


February has arrived with mild weather and light winds.  There are many acres of vegetables grown on Pine Island, in large part because a hard freeze two winters ago killed many palm trees.  Now those fields are growing peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, kale, cucumbers, star fruit and papaya.
I took this picture this morning as farm workers picked peppers off Harbor Drive.
