Week 8 update from The Dixon micro-farm

Just about 8 weeks in, and things continue to grow dramatically. So far this growing experiment is exceeding my expectations, especially the peppers. I pinched off 65 buds this week...and there were still about 25 that I wasn't able to reach so they are still on there. After the pinching off, it sure does seem like growth accelerated. I even burned some leaves because the plant literally grew over an inch overnight! Also had the first two herb harvests...Basil, yummm! The growing area is really starting to smell very fragrant these days.
