I know it sounds silly but I feel like a kid playing in the fields of a large farm. Okay, so it is a one-bedroom apartment and all I have are potted plants but I have 7 potted pepper plants and I have 7 peppers from a bud to a grown pepper.
I usually pick the peppers after a week but this time I want to see how large they will grow and/or if they will naturally fall off the stem. Will take another picture before I add them to salads, soups and meat dishes!!
Want a pepper? Come on and stop by and pick your own! :O)

Your peppers look great. You make me think of this old rhyme even though your name is not Peter.
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers; A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

Nicely done , Martin. We have a green pepper plant here, though the squirrels kept pestering it so it's only producing one, small pepper. However, it's neighbor, a hot wax pepper - won't stop lol

If something makes us feel happy, why not to enjoy and even feel like kids?
It is great that you have all these things grown up and being able to use.
We too got some plants fir a few flowers and vegetables but only one for a capsicum looks likely of growing fully.

Nope--these are bell peppers! At my age the stomach revolts against spicy foods and I used to show off how hot I could eat anything hot!!
