Back in June my cube-neighbor brought in a pepper plant. With some help from y'all I pollinated the flowers and peppers formed. Most of the peppers fell off when they were small... I think because the plant was in a small pot and didn't have enough nutrients.
However, one flourished. It didn't get big... but it got RED! I picked it and hoped it would be spicy but to my surprise it was rather sweet. Below you will see what I did with it :)
Also, I transplanted it into a bigger pot and put frsh topsoil. Now there are a multitude of new blooms forming so maybe we will have a nice size crop. I saved the seeds from this little guy and will try to get some new sprouts at home. There's nothing quite like fresh fruits and veggies.
And I have to admit... it was very tasty!

Nothing better than fresh peppers!
You could have your own show on Food Network.
That looks goooooood!!!
Fresh veggies are the best! Here's a tip I recently learned about peppers... They prefer acidic soil, which you can provide by burying a match in the soil. I have yet to try this trick in my own garden.
I didn't realize you were such a great cook. I love the pics. The meal looks delicious!
Yumm.
Historically, the second part of the trilogy is usually the best, but you've saved the best for last here.
