It would be a darned shame if all of those fine vegetables were off limits. I grow Potatoes, peppers, tomatoes and eggplant. I make dishes that include two or three at a time. This evening I seeded and froze a bunch of my poblano peppers.

I found an interesting set of beads today, that I've scanned and loaded into my Flickr account. If you're not in the group who can see it, send a PM and I'll send the link. I could use them as they are, or use the strands for something else. The best I can guess is that it is a kind of yellow jade bead, it's translucent without being transparent like semi-precious gem stones.
