edenfallingAnd here are all my other peppers -- the ones I have been growing from seeds.
As you can see, I recently repotted nine of them into their final adult pots, and gave them their permanent adult stakes while I was at it. The two round gray plastic pots are leftovers from last year. The two green square-ish plastic pots I bought at Target this spring. And the terracotta pots I got practically for free when we were cleaning out the basement of the smoke shop, in preparation for closing the store.
As for the two peppers that are still in their original tiny pots, the oddly dark-leafed one that has basically been refusing to grow properly is, unsurprisingly, still refusing to grow. I have no idea what its problem is, but as long as it's not dead, I will keep giving it water and sunlight and occasional fertilizer, and we'll see what happens.
The pepper that simply got a very late start, on the other hand, is following the same general path that its nine elder siblings took. It's just running a few weeks behind, and is also somewhat smaller/shorter than they were at a comparable phase of leaf development.
I'm not putting the repotted peppers outside just yet. I want them to be a bit more securely rooted before I put them within reach of the local cats. *casts evil eye across the lawn*
