I love tending to my plants. My friend has been gifting them to me and I've been learning how to take care of them, and then my neighbor gifted me a pepper plant as thanks for helping take out her recycling. They've been such a source of joy (and stress cause they keep getting blown off the ledge in all the storms with 20+ mph winds 😭)
This is me and my pepper plant :))))
Her blooms and first pepper 🥹
(Overexposed as all hell cause the sun was behind her but I wanted a pic of her first fruit)
I saw you can overwinter them so now I really wanna try!! Last year I managed to get my strawberry through winter (and then promptly gave it transplant shock and overwatered, killing it lmao) so now I really wanna give it a go
I'll need to look up how as we get closer to the end of the year
This almost happened to me. Back in 2006 I didn't have a license and relied on my mother to get to and from work. She got off her work an hour after me and was about 30 minutes away so I had atleast an hour and half to kill everyday.
I would walk to best buy about 5 minutes from my job and walk around. If people looked confused or were looking for a employee I would help. One month I had the manager approach me and he told me I got enough recognition at the check out that I qualified for employee of the month. The issue was I was not a employee. He gave me an offer but it was 3 dollars less an hour then I was getting at my real job so I turned it down.

Nice! If you're in a cold climate, you might want to look into overwintering that pepper plant. If done right they can live for years 🙂

I tried this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCMJoADx9n0, but didn’t do the peroxide stuff
But wasn’t successful to reactivate it the next year. It actually looked nice until I moved it outside.

That’s a very dad thing to do. I love doing things where I can just shut my brain off.
