Out with the old, in with the new (pepper)

May 17, 2008

Turns out, 2 of our 4 jalapeño plants lost the will to live. When we got them, they had partially broken stem but tried to soldier on despite their disabilities. Alas, it was not to be, and today I finally threw them in Olathe’s compost pile.

The good news is, this freed up some space for a new veg. Now filling the void is a sweet (red) pepper, capsicum annum, “Red Beauty”. We’ll be calling her Rosey. I’ve transplanted her to the old jalapeño container and she’s currently waiting in the garage for the sun to go down to ease her transition to her new life.
