Well the peppers are growing like crazy, and the new leaves are nice and green for a few days, and then begin to succumb to the multiple (I think) diseases that are plaguing the plants. There are dozens of new flowers forming...though I'd say about 30% of the buds yellow out and fall off before getting to the flowering stage. I think I'm just going to let the current peppers grow and hopefully turn red and get 1 more crop before culling the plants. It is frustrating knowing how weakened these silly pepper plants are, and how much more productive a healthy plant would be.
In other news, the herbs are doing incredible (see previous post), with the exception of the Basil (which I culled last week). I am in the process of drying a massive amount of herbs, it is very exciting.
So, all 3 people (including Shaun and I) that read this blog I'm sure are most interested in the pictures, so ON WITH THE SHOW!!!!

| Rosemary with a haircut! |
