Showing True Leaves: Getting a bit crowded.
The peppers are going nuts – way too many have sprouted and I simply won’t have room for them all in the end. They’re all showing true leaves and looking very healthy.This entry is about Kamtrouble's Sweet Pepper 'Miniature Yellow Bell' in the Herbs n More garden.

Harvesting: Pepper time!

It’s October and NOW they decide to make more peppers?!?!?! rolls eyes I gave the plant a nice...This entry is about Matangie's Bell Pepper in the Little Garden on the Prairie garden.

Flowering: disappointing
This plant has a few flowers, but no fruit. I think it’s too cold for peppers in SF.This entry is about Sf Kelly's Yellow Pepper in the urban retreat garden.
