You are a master pruner, maskedsonnet! The plants look great, and you've kept most of the blossoms.  |

Good job! They look great and I'm betting they will bring great rewards too! |

Shishitos are still doing great!! Gotta trim the plant again. Haven't seen any cocinas set yet, but think I'll trim that plant up as well tomorrow and get a closer look in the bush of leaves

You have so many peppers! Are you letting them all go red?

I tried the Shishitos! One green and one red - the green was grassy, not very good. The red was probably one of the sweetest peppers I've ever eaten. A perfect snack pepper!
The cocina still hasn't set a single pepper, in spite of putting on lots of flowers. So later tonight I plan on taking the cocina out of the machine and letting the shishito do its thing alone. Planning to let all the peppers turn red, for that wonderful sweet flavor!!

Too bad about the cocina, but your shishito has made up for the loss. My shishito has flowers, and has one developing pepper, I think. I hope it does as well as yours!  |

I think the taste of the shishito makes up for the disappointment of the concina - might just be a type that doesn't do well indoors! I'll probably sprout a couple plants for the outdoor garden when spring comes around.
It looks good by itself!

Added what should be the last round of nutrients, these are all ripening up nicely!! When I pick them all I'll end the garden and start a new project. Probably another type of sweet pepper, the other gardens should give me everything I need spice-wise!
