Title: A pepper and courgette to pick
Post by: Jesse on July 26, 2004, 19:51:13
Wish my harvest could be as handsome as some others here but considering my late planting and limited space I'm happy to have at least something home-grown.

First is the little green pepper picked off what must be one of the tiniest bushes around. Can't believe such a small plant can produce anything at all let alone two peppers big enough to eat!

Next is the third of our courgettes off an equally small plant. Nothing better than picking, cooking and eating all within an hour.  :D

Amazing pepper - what's the variety? And is it meant to be dwarf?
And is that you! = Tim

Tim I don't know what variety it is. Was bought from a school fete with no name. The pepper tasted slightly more peppery than the ones in shops. Have a feeling it's not meant to be a dwaf, probably stunted due to the fact that it was uprooted and replanted a few times by my eager 3 yr old Jessica who is in the photo. Scott, my son, is the one holding the courgette but was non-cooperative so hence no face to be seen!
