Ripening Pepper
It’s possible that peppers will join the list of plants I won’t grow next year. Now is a good time to assess the productivity of plants against the effort put into growing them and make a pragmatic decision. On this basis the peppers are definitely being shown their marching orders – peppers harvested – nil, peppers rotting on the plant – ten! I’m keeping a beady eye on the one in the photograph, but given past performance, it too will succumb. It’s possibly due to a variable watering regime, but whatever the reason I’ve decided to buy my peppers instead and devote the space to more tomatoes.
