He’s an eager beaver. And a strong one at that.

I am not doing anything special. Maybe it just likes the water.

Here it is this morning. Is anyone topping theirs? You can see some buds starting. If you are going to top where should I?   |

Really lovely Shawn. This is great education for me, as my next planting I'd like to do peppers. Who knew watching plants grow literally day by day would be so exciting?! I never got this involved in my gardens or hot house plants. My 3 baby tomato plants are doing great and I find myself talking to them and my herb garden, encouraging them, lol.

After some discussion somewhere on the forum I decided not to top the GAL pepper, unlike my jalapeño, but I can’t remember the reason why.

For some reason growing in the AG’s has been way more fun for me. I guess I feel more invested. It’s like gardening up close and personal, but with no dirt or bugs. |

I did not pinch anything. I decided to leave it like everyone else. I don't think anyone pinched theirs.

I did not pinch. BUT today I took off some of those huge leaves near the deck. I imagine they will be huge again because it is the nature of that plant, it appears.

Yes, I find myself doing that as well. I also like that the leaves are not on or near the desk. It will help the calcium buildup in the desk too, even if just a little.

That makes me excited to check mine now that I’m back from the holiday weekend. Last night when I returned I really wanted to say hi to them all but I was just too tired and frozen. I got straight in bed. At 7:30, lol.

I am debating cutting those huge leaves. I already cut several a week or so ago. If I do it will look so much smaller LOL .. thoughts?  Some flowers should be opening soon:  |
