People have said pepper plants are slow to grow, but I know others in our area began harvesting them a month ago. We've had a few flowers here and there, and now, finally, a pepper.
It's cute, isn't it? Discovering a baby vegetable is one of the proudest moments in vegetable gardening. Harvesting is the other, but we haven't done enough of that yet this year. So, now, I would like to make a plea to this pepper.
PLEASE
1. Don't abort like the little butternut squashes did.
2. Don't suddenly attract a bug or animal that had no interest in you during your first three months of growing.
3. Do ripen before frost. You have two months.
In return, I will provide you with food and water. I will believe in you and I will cheer for your success.
And then, I will eat you.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
