How are your store bought pepper seed plants doing?

Rather nicely, painter. I gave a little update late in the Weekly Gardening Thread.

"My Big Red HEB Bell Pepper project has produced LARGE green peppers. They're six inches long and three inches wide. Getting impatient for them to start to turn colors. For those who don't know or don't remember, My Big RED HEB Peppers are an unknown variety I purchased in our grocery store. I just picked the biggest, reddest one in the bin and planted the seeds. Camelots in the same patch are doing equally well but not quite so large. The Camelots we pick and eat green."

Temptation is to pick one for a little taste test. I look them over every day hoping for a color change and stay alert for disease and pests. I guess the real test might come in the Fall when I plant the second generation seeds.

Thanks for asking!
