The Baby Belle leaves are even larger. Either way, they are getting thinned out this weekend. This will be difficult.  |

Well this was a pain. They are so dense with four plants pruning was difficult at best. I ended up with a large stainless steel bowl overflowing with leaves.  |

Well you did a fantastic job. I always feel horrible when I prune mine that much as well. But in the long run it is good for them.. which I learned form the King himself  mike |

What a difference! It had to be painful to cut away all that lush growth.

Not really. I will prune a little more when I see some peppers.

That was an aggressive pruning, but will help your pepper yield in the long run!

Sweet Heat seeds are going on my list. I may go ahead and buy some today and rush something else out of a Bounty.
Yours are making me flat out envious, mike! |

I just filled the basin I use to clean grow decks with water. I want to start some dill today. First I have to fix this broken stem on the pump.

These things are damn hard to take pictures of. I have to use a cane or a walker now. What a pain.  |

I love seeing the peppers. Will start mine soon.
mike, I have a lightweight folding stool that I carry everywhere when I need to take pictures, maintain the machines, work on the deck containers in summer, etc.
It makes life so much easier. No way could I stoop to take pictures.
I'm sure you know they also have sleek walkers with seats, too.

I agree that taking pictures that are low down are hard. I too have the same problem but with a bad back. However you took great pics.  |
