Well, the bell pepper I planted ended up not getting much bigger. While I went to Hawaii in October/November, the weather turned a little cold and Satoshi had been caring for the plants, he tends to over water them, which unfortunately kills most of them.After I came back, I tried to nurse it back, but it was too late. It turned a little orange and was kinda soft. All the leaves fell off the plant.
Not sure if it had a disease, it had some black flecks on the plant and fruit, so I figured we couldn't eat it. I ended up taking the seeds and will try again after winter.
I wish I had a green thumb like you, but I don't.

Bummer! I'll keep my fingers crossed for next year.

Ack! Sorry to hear about the piman pepper. And it also just dawned on me that planting season is only 2 months away. Two months!!! I start tomatoes, peppers and eggplant indoors around the 3rd week of February. With any luck, if spring 2010 is much more mellow than this last spring, we may have a more productive garden. I can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteexciting Rowena! I should start like you, I waited until April or May and by the time things got started, it was Fall :(
