plantanarchy:

Four or so months in the life of some wee peppers (and one obscenely large tomato) living in a Huegelkultur raised bed.

All the peppers except the Hungarian Hot Wax which I seeded myself were free extras I took home from work when they were a few weeks old. They grew under lights from late March to mid-May.

Next time, they will not get planted so close together. I goofed and forgot to look up the spacing before planting because none came with tags. Also, our string and stake system did not work out, especially now that the peppers are very big and heavy.

I’ve only lost a few peppers to rot (ants eat holes in the peppers and then they turn to mush on the vine) and some minor slug damage. 10/10 would pepper again
