Hi Paul,
My Serranos are very tall, but no sign of blossoms, yet. The Hab I was
talking about is still tiny, but as soon as the weather changes (which I
hope is very soon) it should start growing again. Another Hab which I
thought was dead, started to blossom! It looks horrible. The plants is
crooked and the leaves are all crunched. But it blossoms. It's probably a
sick plant, but I'll wait and see what happens to it. My Black Namaqualand
opened it's first blossom, one of many, and it is beautiful! I really have
to get the camera out and take a picture for my Chile-album. Yes, I made a
photo album especially for all my pepper pictures. It starts with when I
first planted the seeds and I will go on till the plants die or something
else. It's already getting pretty full.
About being metrically impaired. No shame, I have a little program that
converts all. So I'll always know what you're talking about.
Well, take care and keep growing! (plants)
