Hi All,

  I have no idea why you would try and grow 7 pepper plants in the AG.  I've got 2 Jalapenos and one red fire - more than enough.  Looking good, though-

They look great. Did the kit really come with seven pods?!?

Oooh, I see some little fruits in there! Anything ripened yet?

They look great.

We did Santa round 1 tonight, have a couple more rounds tomorrow. Wish you luck!

Very nice, it looks in really good shape - not a bad leaf in sight.

Hi All,

Peppers are doing well!  I had to aggressively prune the red fire, losing peppers in the process, but I've got baby Jalapenos and red fire peppers!

What beautiful plants, Beth! I think peppers and chard and zucchini are the most ornamental vegetable plants. So few of the others stay pretty over the long haul.

Hi Gisette,

  I agree!  I saw the mini-jalapeno plants in an AG at the local hardware store and just had to have them.  I really am enjoying these plants.  More reasonable growth than tomatoes and just pretty.

Oh, hey - you had those midget mohawk peppers, didn't you? How did they turn out?

I love little pepper plants visually, but we're tres wimp on hot peppers. I grew "super mild" mariachi peppers last summer, and pretty much gave away the first harvest and cut down the plant. Spending an evening with my hand burning from capsaicin before I figured out how to make it stop also hastened that plant's demise... Not that I'm vengeful or anything. It just really hurt.
