I think I'll end up getting about 3 or 4 more bells off the orange king plant I have. Still not much, but better than the other. The cherry is producing well, though I suspect I'll be picking them all green before it gets cold. The little jalapeño is trying so hard, I'll probably get a few before frost.

All in all, a bit of a bust on the pepper front but there was a lot of learning. Start much earlier, use heating pads, grow lights, and don't wait for the little seedlings to get bigger before giving them a better growing medium. .. they were waiting for the move to get bigger and I was waiting for them to get bigger to move. Heh. Next year, I will have peppers!

Try something more productive. Like Shistuto. Cranks out the peppers but of course they are not bells. For Bell peppers I like Lady Bell but that is just my favorite.

Really the Japaneses peppers like Shistuto are mess up proof!

Oh, I have read that bell peppers are the most difficult of the pepper plants. Well, not the plant but to get the fruit to pick.
