2 California Wonder Bell Peppers
10 Giuseppe Mild Green Chiles
7 Big Jim Green Chiles
There's many more Bell peppers still on the plants, but I'm hoping they start turning red before the weather forces me to pick them.
Edit: Apparently the tape measure is weird? I dunno, it looks like a normal tape measure to me? I think it might seem weird because it's upside down? Here's the same pic rotated:

I guess the tape measure is fine, but this would have been better with a banana pepper for scale (͡•_ ͡• )

I know, right! How big is that tape measure?

Some tape measures can grow to be 30+ bananas long, but this one seems only partially extended. It's just a guess, but based on that I would say the peppers are somewhere between three and six bananas long, which is very impressive for OP. That's approaching one golden retriever.

OP, I think they’re taking the piss for being American and having an imperial tape instead of metric.
I’ve got the best f both worlds on mine. Metric on one side and imperial on the other. Canadian and having US materials is interesting sometimes.

It's simpler than that, just a reference to a meme and a pun on banana/banana pepper.

Those look amazing 🤩
None of our peppers flowered this year 😥
Otherwise they looked perfectly happy and healthy. No clue what went wrong…

Something is wrong with your measuring tape :-)
Awesome harvest. Congrats.
