Well, I went to snag some larger pots and got a nice deal on Western Pulp 8x8 fiber pots for .99/ea. These are actually very durable and can last up to 1-2 years if I'm careful since they won't be outside or getting as wet as some plants would need.
Irony or Fate IDK, but I snagged one extra pot than I needed...well, turns out my feeling was correct.
While I was there, asked the nice gal if they had any pepper plants. She said yes but wasn't sure what was left and to go check the racks outside. Found some scrawly cayennes and a couple 'red chiles'.
So, I walked around to another rack that had mostly huge tomatos and bell peppers..then I saw familiar white flowers.
Well, I found this weirdness...a foot tall Jalapeno thats even flowering...in a 3" pot.
Boggles my mind...why wasn't it repotted, how did it survive this long that way, and in this 96F weather lately even? This was just on a rack outside in the parking lot.
Amazingly, it's actually fairly healthy if leggy. Needless to say, it'll be repotted right away.
Bloody astounding how resilient these peppers are.
Oh, and it cost all of $1.99. ;-D
