Plenty of Peppers to Pick

It all started with a small green pepper. I was about to throw out the seeds and instead threw them in the pot I had a Cuban plant sitting on the window sill and completely forgot about it.
About a month later I saw leaves that were completely different than the Cuban plant leaves plus they had little white blossoms. Before I knew it I saw what looked like peppers and they were! Since then I get 2 peppers a month from the plant.
About a month later I threw some of the seeds from the new peppers into another pot with a different Cuban plant in the living room and then I did the same thing with the first new pepper I got on the baby plant.
I now have 3 pepper plants with one facing the north light, one facing the southern and the third bathing in the eastern sunlight!
In the pictures the #3 are the mama plant, #2 the second plant while # 1 I sort of took a record of it growing.
I may have to open a pepper store if I don't stop this!

@GreatMartin A mylotter wrote a couple of weeks ago to put in water the ends of bunch onions. The green part would grow back. They did

If you grow your own vegetables you're sure it's organic.

I would rather chop them up and put them in a fish or meat dish!

I agree--especially when it isn't planned or you think nothing will happen!

I've done the same with tomato, apple, pear, cucumber, etc., seeds--some work, some don't.
