Hiya Re: Growing potted vegetables
How's your Bhut Jolokia plant now, Bob? Is it still alive?


Thanks so much for sending me some fresh seeds back again.


Here's are 2 of my little mini micro-tomato plants today. The one on the right is about to put on it's very first crop of cherry tomatoes...





I've also got a couple "Patio" seedlings that are about half a foot tall now.

Here's my Bhut Jolokia overwintering outdoors in San Diego, CA. The plant is about 2.5 years old now.

Mine's doing well on the front porch and has about a dozen or so fruits on it.
I still have to get some seeds out to those who asked for them but have been really busy.

Here's three Ruby Red leaf lettuce seedlings...





They get more red over time and with more sunshine. I'm separating them tonight.

Haven't been on the site for a month or so, but encouraging to have people like Sherry keeping us all inspired and motivated. And plants like tomatoes and peppers, being perennial in their native habitats make it relatively easy to keep the gardening hobby alive all year round. I have 4 overwintered peppers in my workshop which are all producing flower buds now, and several varieties of perennial flowers, which will shortly move outside again as the weather warms. Overwintering peppers outdoors is to be envied by many of us Richard...(I can't quite trust the weather that much here), but kudos for sharing the dream! For the rest of us, spring can't be held off indefinitely! Got to go and plant something......!!!

Talking Re: Growing potted vegetables
My first ripening tomato of Spring!!!


I noticed this one today, beginning to turn red...






This type is called "Table" tomato and it's ideal for growing in pot. This variety doesn't even need a lot of sunlight and likes shade...and it also doesn't like a lot of fertilizer either! The flavor of the fruits is very rich and delicious.


Soon I'll be saving many seeds, for those interested. Here's how the plant looks in it's pot...





It only reaches a 10" to a foot tall, and it's classified as a cherry tomato plant, although some of the fruits are quite large...golfball size. I've been growing this type for 4 years now and it's wonderful. The high yields are impressive too, for such a small plant.

Here's a little 'micro-tom' seedling today...





Oh and I'll show this shot here too...more ripening "Table" tomatoes this afternoon...





Here's a shot I took a few minutes ago of my sweet Italian frying peppers in a pot, called "Jimmy Nardello". They look like they'll be hot but they're actually super sweet.


I've grown them a few times and they perform great in a south window. Such a nice change from the usual sweet bells...





They'll turn red soon.


And what would indoor potted veggie gardening be without some hot peppers...
