Harvest

This is the 5th or 6th harvest from a really good season with tomatoes.

The green pepper on the top right is from the pepper series! It withered in the sun unfortunately.

I'm trying out a technique used by mountain people documented in the first of the Foxfire book series. It involves figuring out the prominent constellation, factoring in moon phase, and boiling down a chapter of interviews from Foxfire 1. I just read the chapter, and the time to throw these puppies into the ground is coming in a couple days! We'll see how things go.

The shoot on the left with the deepest green color is the first plant to sprout up (Day 4). It hasn't grown as much as the others and has really really thick green leaves that almost look fake. Any farmers out there know why this is happening?

3 cheers to new *green* beginnings...

I noticed seeds were sprouting on an old pepper I purchased. In the same soil I attempted to grow kumquats and grapefruits (I figured my cube environment could do it), I started growing the pepper. I did place it in the center of the pot, but the faster growing sprouts showed up near the edge keeping in line with the rule of thirds.
