Update ~ Red-Hot Chili Peppers (Hopefully)

The peppers have yet to ripen. However, they are growing long and green on one plant while our second plant has many blossoms.  Maybe another month? (originally posted April 5, 2024)

 
Give or take a year ago M”lady bought some long, thin, bright red and incredibly hot chili peppers. We ate some and placed the rest aside to gather their seeds. Most of the seeds sprouted. Most of the seedlings died. Out of those that didn’t, only one gave us any fruit at all. (two peppers) Min, our handywoman, cut them both back, replanted in a better location, said a prayer and we both made sure to water them. Today I noticed two blossoms on the bigger of the chili plants. If we have done things right and get truly lucky, we will be harvesting seriously red-hot chili peppers in maybe a month. Time will tell.
