Watching things grow.
Our prompt from Sally Russick of The Studio Sublime this week is Growth and Change.
I decided to look for pictures that I have taken of my little potted pepper.
I seem to have concentrated on the beginning, but the end is pretty spectacular - and I am still waiting for it to turn completely red, so I can pick it!

| And here is the little pepper. |

| Two months later, I am looking forward to the harvest. |
A few months ago I noted that farmers needed an abundance of hope. Even with the smallest garden, you also have to have an abundance of patience.

It's the most normal, natural thing in the world, but it's still magical, isn't it? Bet they'll taste amazing!
ReplyDeleteGreat interpretation of this week's prompt :)
It looks like yuo will be enjoying the fruits of your labor soon.
ReplyDeleteIs it a two tone pepper or will it turn totally red?
ReplyDeleteRe. etsy shop
ReplyDeleteYes, Beth, you can do it :)
It does take a few hours to set up the shop itself, but having listed 10 items so far, listing is getting easier and quicker...
Etsy provides great step-by-step advice, which helps tremendously, and I'll gladly help in any way I can x
Great job showing growth and change. I love green peppers especially grilled. I go to the farmers market each year in the fall and buy a couple of cases of peppers. I cut and freeze them so I have peppers all winter.
ReplyDeleteI think our family has truly changed since we started to grow vegetables. Not so much for savings, but for the great feeling it gives us to pick our own tomatoes, green onions and whatever we plant in the spring :) A true miracle - you captured it perfectly!
ReplyDeleteisn't it amazing to see how much goes in to growing food? how much time and perseverance! I hope it is as delicious as it looks!
ReplyDeleteI love growing veggies and watching them grow and change. Great post Beti!

ReplyDeleteSo cool that you got to photograph the process!
ReplyDeleteWe had a similar idea for this week's prompt, but Oh so appropriate. Enjoy that pepper when it's ready!
ReplyDeleteOh it looks so pretty there in the pot. I've always wanted a little vegetable garden but I found our dirt is full of coal deposits and that I seem to have a brown thumb. I'm alway so jealous of others gardens.
ReplyDeleteIt almost looks like a heart from a distance....you could say it was a hybrid and it was red AND green....Great looking plant. We didn't plant this year as my husband is laid up with a really bad broken ankle, that won't heal....maybe next year. Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteWell, how cool! I love peppers, I may just have to try that..unfortunately I have a black thumb, so not sure anything would actually survive. I've never been sure...do green peppers grow up to be red peppers, or are they a whole different species?
ReplyDeleteMost, if not all "green" peppers will turn another color when ripe. Red, yellow, orange, all can be used green or allowed to ripen. It's hard to wait!!
DeleteOh isn't that looking scrumptious! Nothing like food picked fresh from your backyard. The harvest will be very soon. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of your pepper's growth! Patience would indeed be hard for me on this one,....
