three buds on a small green pepper plant



So... the Lazarus pepper has developed three new buds??? I am greatly perplexed, and as before, I rather doubt any actual fruit will be forthcoming, but what the heck, I support this ridiculous plant and its refusal to say die. (Next week I might be able to start putting it outside during the day, which it might enjoy.)

Several of the pepper seedlings are starting to grow true leaves.

A bunch of the squash are also growing their first true leaves. I think a couple of the plants are unhappy, which doesn't surprise me, but eh. I also bought four plastic storage tubs on Sunday and will hopefully get around to repotting four of the more promising seedlings later this week.

And in indoor and inedible botanical news, I repotted Damocles (one of my big spider plants) tonight and hung its pot back up in my living room window. No pictures yet, though I may take one of Damocles and Babylon (the other big hanging spider plant) sometime later this month.
