edenfallingMy peppers, as of Monday afternoon. :-)
The bell pepper seems to have settled on producing three good-sized peppers. A couple of the other tiny proto-peppers have fallen off the plant, and the others are kind of in stasis, neither growing nor dying. Perhaps once I pick the three large ones the others will begin to grow again.
As for the jalapeño, it inched upward maybe another couple centimeters, but seems to have stopped growing taller/bushier and is now concentrating on the all-important business of flowering and producing actualfax peppers. As you can see, the first lone blossom has already become a distinct pepper, while a couple others are shedding their petals to reveal tiny baby peppers. The jalapeño flowers themselves are interestingly different from the bell pepper flowers -- for one thing they face downward rather than sideways, and for another their petals spread into a much wider and flatter array.
