Re: the glory of creation
Nice pictures mee, beautiful, radiant colours.
My garden is in a bit of a sorry state at the moment I'm afraid 
However, I am trying to grow some peppers indoors, which seem to be going quite well.
I've been talking to them most days!

Make sure you keep them warm  Oh and moist (not wet!) soil should be kept constant...  A weekly feed also helps......
Mee nice pics!!

thanks  i must admit those pics are not from this year ,they are last years i think , the continual rain this year seemed to put a damper on my garden this year . but i am hoping for a better show next year .
the purple one is now in the ground rather than being in a pot, , and is growing over an arch way , but i did not have many flowers this year , it could be because of moving it from its pot ,so next year i am hoping for some more flowers , i will have to feed it well and then it may produce some.
something that has done well this year is a passion flower , i did have it in a pot but i transplanted it into the ground , and it then seemed to die on me, but just when i was thinking of digging it up it had a small amount of new growth appear , so i left it where it was and now it is scrambling on the shed roof and it has had loads of flowers .

the rain this year has not been kind to my garden this year as well.
those pics were taken last year , but i am hoping next year i will have some more flowers .
my.. lily of the valley .... has really spread this year and the smell from those is so nice as i get out of the car on the driveway .
but my clamatis has not done as well this year
i grew a pepper outside a couple of years ago in a pot, and it did quite well , but then the next year i tried one again and it died on me.
someone gave me some tomatoe plants this year ,and i think they got to wet because they are going rotten on the plant and splinting open before i get the chance to pick them.

Yes, I learned the hard way that too much water will do this to tomatoes.

I love passion flower! We had some that grew in the yard wild when I was a kid, and I've looked for them ever since. I wasn't aware they could be potted, but the wife and I found one in a garden nursery a couple of weeks ago...it came home with us and is now by the front porch. I need to get a trellis for it.

Re: the glory of creation
I've got 22 pepper plants growing at the moment, they are all over 6 inches now and doing well. Hopefully they will produce a nice harvest.

yum yum
i like the red peppers , is it true that the longer they are left on the plant is when they go red ? or are there different coloured ones ?
maybe i am wrong but are they all green and the longer they are left they change colour ? not sure

Re: the glory of creation
Nope that isn't the case... Depending on the type of pepper some are meant to be and will remain green, You even get some (though it is rare) species which can go brown blue white or even PURPLE!!  The uhm Bell pepper is a good example of this... Only happens (I think) with the sweet peppers....
And ah yeees, the longer a pepper is left the redder it goes :O also the hotter or sweeter it goes too.. It is like a wine or a honey, it matures... But alike many things though it is a living fruit so it will peak.
