growing sweet peppers

[Guest guest]

I don't have any lettuce advice to share. I've yet to get the hang of

growing lettuce. But I thought I share a pepper tip. This fall

choose one or more of your heartiest plants & put them in a pot &

winter them in a sunny window. I did this for the 1st time last year

& I already have a few 3 " peppers on that plant. I tried pretty hard

to kill the plant over the winter by forgetting to water it, but it

sprouted lots of new growth when I planted it outside this spring.

Oh, and I did get one small pepper to grow late last winter & enjoyed

a sweet red pepper in April or so.

I just cooked up the 1st harvest off my 1st ever home-grown chard. Yummy!

Now if the rabbits would just forget where my strawberries are, we'd

be cooking with gas. (vs that nasty electric, LOL.)

Dawn, who's dancing with delight as the rain comes down again (it was

getting extremely dry over here)
