How exciting. Are the office people enjoying these or are you saving them for yourself?

They love them.
We have breakfast brought in every wednesday morning, consisting of those eggs-sausage/bacon-cheese-grease sandwiches, and they all heap them up with either the jalapenos from the pickling jar or some salsa I made from the Bulgarian Carrots GAL.
I'll also bring in some Lemon Drop peppers for a guy in the office who really loves them.

I might add that this batch is particularly sweet and juicy. Aside from their inherent interactivity, that is.

Today's harvest. Sliced and into the pickling jar. There were three more I could have harvested, but they still had some green on them, so they can wait until later this week. That's for certain is that they're ripening quickly now.  |

That plant is amazing! It's nice to see them with lots of leaves as well as peppers.

I think I'm going to have to do another round of topping to get it out of the lights again.

No formal harvest today, but a coworker who hasn't shown that much interest asked me today if she could have one for cooking tonight.
I gave her the reddest, fattest one on the plant.

Just took a look. Already see 2-3 open, fairly large (for a mini Jalapeno) blossoms open and a half dozen more about to open.
I just buzzed them with my Be the Bee.
So, I think it's going to continue to be fruitful.

So, some new peppers have finally set, so round 2 is officially on.
They've been slow to set, so I brought a nip bottle of CaliMagic from home to speed it up.

That stuff really is "magic". It's shocking what a difference it makes after feeding.
