Peppers

There are two medium-sized pots of Baby Belle peppers... each containing 2 red and 1 yellow-fleshed plant. Because they are "baby," they're supposed to be compact plants and heavy producers.

My mom highly recommended peppers as an abused yet prolific container plant... considering the heat and drought experienced by her outside plants, this is a glowing recommendation! The package says to thin them to every 15", but considering the extremely crowded tiny windowbox my mom used (2 peppers plus a small rose bush plus several daffodils at once), I'm pretty confident that 2 or 3 will fit into each of my 3-gallon pots, and I'll leave it up to nature to see how many sprout.
