I got 4 peppers off my 6 plants. One was about the size of the one you got but then they suddenly started blossoming once the rain stopped and I got 3 little tiny peppers. Yay for peppers!
Pepper plants are amazing! My hubby and I planted a bunch in the garden when we lived in Fort Liard, NWT. They were JUST starting to bloom when the frost started to come, so we transplanted them into pots and brought them indoors. The next summer, they survived our move to Whitehorse. And then we got a whole lotta habaneros off them that fall. Crazy.
We found out that they're MUCH hotter after they've dried. Enjoy your little pepper!
I wish I could send you buckets of hot peppers that my husband planted this year. He has used lots and lots of them for salsa, and has canned some just as they are...but hundreds (probably thousands) remain on the plants. The longer growing season is one of the reasons I'm glad I live in Virginia. My aunt and her family live in British Columbia - way out in the boonies :) - and she often laments their short growing season.

It will taste so good!!
ReplyDeleteMy one jalapeño is even smaller....just saying! My sweet peppers were nada!!!! NOT a good garden year on the Central Coast of Calif!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI planted 8 pepper plants and not one survived. We had a record heat and a drought. My black thumb had nothing to do with it!
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful!

Have a great weekend!
That is a nice looking pepper
ReplyDeleteHow often do we buy plants in Alaska, thinking that--that they aren't going to grow. Then they do and we're so proud!
