My pepper plant is getting soooo big! I have trimmed it a couple times. Sorry no photo of how it has grown to the size of the cabinet it lives in. I have not had fresh peppers in a couple weeks. I have now figured out how to get peppers more continuously. I now pollinate once a week so that I may have peppers at different stages of growth all the time. I think in a couple weeks I can start harvesting a pepper or two every week. Here is my favorite recipe with my aerogarden peppers.
I started with fresh shredded potatoes and cooked with real butter. Throw in some cubed came and sliced pepper. Lightly seasoned then add eggs. Great breakfast!
I love how the peppers in my garden are small that I can harvest one and use it all up in one meal. Gives me such fresh taste in my food! Best peppers I have ever tasted!!!!
It has been months since my other aerogarden had anything growing and today I finally planted it! I want to grow some tomatoes! Tiny tomatoes! I also added four tickle me plants to the mix. Those are going to be presents for some peeps. Start them in aerogarden then transplant them. Then I still have three slots of tomatoes that will need the space.
I have been a busy gal and my schedule is so much better now that I hope to post more often. As you might know I am a mom of two and work full time. Well this summer I decided to go back to school. Yes it was hard but I now have a bachelors degree!!! I near had a breakdown doing so much but I am glad I finished my degree. It had been almost a decade since I dropped out of college so it was a challenge.
See you soon,

Winter Peppers!
It is wintertime. The temperatures have been very cold (-30windchill during the day!) yet I am growing peppers inside my house!!!
Here is how it went:
Day 49- I pollinated these flowers two days ago and I already have these baby peppers!
Day 75 of my bell peppers. Is that a hint of color I see? The peppers are about 3 inches tall.
Day 98! My peppers are turning colors!!! Almost ready!!! It was a grow anything kit and there were 5 possible colors the peppers could be. Looks like I will be having yellow peppers very soon!!
First harvest. Day 105. There are more that are about ready but I don't need so many at once. It's great that I can pick them as I need them
