The Final one in the Trilogy...

Grub · February 21, 2007

About three years ago Patrina sent me three kinds of baby peppers in the mail, in drinking straws. I planted them all in a pot. They suffered transplant shock and so nothing.

Then after a year Plant 1 grows... I posted pics here and it was a flesh-coloured strong smelling C.Chinense. Then the next year Plant 2 grows. It was a red tasty C.Bacc. Now, finally, Plant 3 has set some fruit after dropping literally thousands of blooms... shall I get a pic up for possible ID?

Interesting to me. And goes to show how perseverance can pay off

Grub, I'd be interested to see a picture of that plant. Not that I'd be able to identify it, I think. But just because I love pretty pictures of pretty plants.
