It’s been raining here in Phoenix since last night so my garden is wet, soggy and muddy. No pictures today. Rain is in the forecast until Sunday. At least the rain didn’t wash away or beat down the turnips and bok choy that were just coming up.
No overnight freezes here yet - those usually don’t come until mid-December to January for us.
Just waiting for the rain to stop and things to dry off!
I DO have a couple of pepper plants I started from seed indoors that I’ll be experimenting with. I’m growing ancho and a Korean pepper plant under lights indoors. Right now the ancho is about 3 inches tall and the Korean pepper just sprouted. We’ll see what they do and if they actually bear fruit off season.
Meanwhile I’ve been browsing eBay for seeds.
I have grown peppers from seed as well as transplants from the garden. They both do well off season indoors. They are in front of a glass patio door facing south west, and have grow lights for dreary days and extending the daylight.
I keep the grow lights on after dark to extend the daylight hours to mimic summer time. They bloom pretty well, and are self fertile. I do plant them in smaller pots than I would if they were outside. The fruits tend to be a little smaller is all, but the perfect size when making a stir fry for two.
