Inspired by the farmer's market this morning, I decided it was high time for another harvest from the 'ole container garden out on the balcony. The results:
- 2 Jalapenos
- 1 Poblano
- 1 Habanero (the first one!)
- 1 Anaheim
- 1 Banana (pepper, not fruit)
I'm pretty pleased with this harvest. Combined with some tomatoes, garlic, and extra peppers I picked up at the farmer's market, it should make for a great salsa. Sadly the jalapenos aren't producing quite quickly enough to use all of my own peppers, so I must supplement. Anyway, pictures:
So, that was the harvest. Coming soon, I should have a red bell pepper:
This next one is confusing. I bought only one red bell pepper plant that I know of, and two green bell. One of the green bells is definitely producing green. The other, well, judge for yourself:
I can't decide if I let it go too long before I harvested, or if it somehow cross-pollinated with the red bell that's directly next to it. I'm going to wait a few days and see what develops.
Lastly, I have a resident stinkbug in the garden. He's just the cutest little thing, I had to snap some pictures. I was mildly surprised that he (or she) really didn't like it, and made an effort to avoid the camera. Anyway, here are a selected few:
The second one is cropped, but I like it anyway. I'm fascinated by the eye structure of bugs. So cool.
