These are doing well. A bunch of different peppers on a plant. Some are striped and some not. I have one red one and a few others ripening. They are all pop-able sized too.

So I picked two red ones yesterday. I placed them on the counter and took a picture next to a quarter. These are small nibblers. Some of them still on the plant are larger but most this size.
Right after the picture Mark comes in and eats them both. He said these were the sweetest and juiciest peppers he ever had and is now one of his favs. Not a lot of seeds and nice walled flesh.

Shawn, sweetest and juciest! That's high praise! Makes me crave one -- or two or more.

Shawn, your tale about Mark's eating your gorgeous peppers made me laugh out loud!  I have the same "problem" with Ray. You spend all this time growing tasty peppers (or cukes or tomatoes or strawberries), and they're gone in a flash the minute you set them down on a table!

 My plant leaves are wilting... I have no idea why. I did an R&R two weeks ago. They are fed and get their mooch. I have no idea. They have plenty of water. No bugs or insects.
I had a fan in there and took it out just now. Maybe that? I do not know. But I may have to end these if they do not revive themselves. I am going to try to raise the lights not that they are close.

Shawn, did you check the roots? I had a beautiful green pepper plant that suddenly died. It had root rot, but I have no idea why or how it happened. Wilted leaves were the only sign, and that was for only a few days. R&R might have saved it, but I doubt it. If the roots look okay, your pump might have quit. The fan is certainly a likely suspect. I too hope that the plants perk up!

They came back. I th ink they were too cold. THe fan was not on them but giving circulation to the area. I took the fan out and they have perked up, thank goodness.

Every day I am pulling 8-12 of these off the plants and Mark loves them as just a snack.

That is a lot of little peppers! Don't you love it when a plant really takes off like that?  |

This is after picking the bright red ones. These still need to ripen more and there are green ones too you can not see.

That would be great to have fruiting during the Christmas season!  |
