Here is my plant before this harvest. I moved it for the 3ish days of possible frost we had, and the tomato cage it was leaning on for some support wasn't getting moved at that point (eh, it was late, dark, and cold, at least to my Floridian blood.) It got paired up with my mom's gardenia for support and to be covered together.
Yeah, we aren't going to talk about the fact that I never got to up-potting it from my little landscape fabric bags. Or the fact that the roots grew out of the landscape fabric bags and into the two bags next to it that appear empty.
... Or the fact that despite all that, it's still the largest pepper plant I've grown, height-wise. For only my second season growing, and the first being from questionable 25 cent seed packs, I'm not mad, even if my results have been pretty pathetic. I had big plans to make soil workable in a part of my property that was unused, but time constraints left me with most of my plants in solo cups still. I think I've learned a few things, and hope to put more of it to use next season. I've also found my so-far favorite variety. So for that, especially with some of the stuff in the thread in 2019, a huge thanks to Rich for letting such a noob as myself take part. Next year I have every intention of at least being middle of the pack, lol!
Oh, yeah. Here's my "big" harvest:
(24g) + 66g = 90g
I have a handful of green pods still on the plant, too.
My back up YBS that I thought was going to be my chosen plant still hasn't ripened a pod. It grew to about the same size as this one while this one was still ~1.5ft tall. I realized it also grew through it's bag and a large portion of it's root mass is in the ground. It didn't flower until later, and still only has 5-6 green pods of its first round on it. It was given nutes with the rest, etc. I suppose that tells me how non-conductive to growing peppers my
soil sand is.
