Aren't those eggplants?

I know of 6 colors of bell peppers...green, red, yellow, orange and black and purple. But those kinda looked like eggplants at first glance.

look closely at the bottoms of the peppers and you can see the difference.

I thought eggplant, too. The peppers I've seen were more uniform in color.

Mom and I spent the morning at our local, very busy, farmers market, too. Very crowded, yea, but lots of fun. A fabulous new bakery was added this year....saw a gal eating the most divine "design-your-own-crepe with Nutella, bananas, and walnuts, just wanted to plant my face right over in it! Gorgeous flowers, veggies, peaches and melons, breads, and art......Great morning!
