After I removed the covers yesterday morning, those starts popped over a full 1/4 inch in height by 3pm. Pretty impressive. I'm going to have to choose which California Wonder to keep pretty soon.

Okay, so I topped two of the California Wonder's. It looks like there may be another Tequila Sunrise thinking about showing it's lazy face. It looks like a little green bump is peeking down there. I'll deal with him, if he does make a showing. Here's an update of both, from yesterday. I think maybe the extra boost on the Bounty lights may be the fast growth I saw yesterday. They get their next feeding in a couple days.  |

I did get another Tequila Sunrise pop up, which I murdered this morning.  I haven't peeked to see if seed #3 is going to germinate. Today was their 14th day, so they got their nutes and the pump changed to 60 minute intervals every 660? minutes...I think. Both plants are now getting their first true leaves! |

Chopped off his little head.  I know, so painful. Glad it was you, not me. Made it so much easier to laugh, lol. |

John picked me up a packet of Burpee Rosemary seeds and I started a pod in the front of the Bounty for now. I may move it to the Sprout or Harvest at some point, when the peppers get larger. The Rosemary will take forever to get started anyway  . |

Here's an updated image from today, 17 days from starting seeds. They're doing well and don't seem to mind their new bunk mate, the rosemary pod  |

Good growth. And good idea to use an empty pod to sprout the rosemary.

Don't go nuts, the calcium buildup gets real and sometimes there is no keeping up.
Peppers are looking good.

Just a quick note to say one of my cats decided to tear off most of the large leaves and some of the new, off both plants. All this time and they never bothered them. They look so sad, but seem to want to survive, so I’m going to let them try. If not, I’ll start again. I’m so bummed. They were so lovely. Sigh...
My youngest daughter leaves on the 10th for the summer, to work at a resort in Seward again this year, so I’m spending time with her.

These are tough babies. They've survived the cat attack, and thrived. I've been clipping damaged leaves, and there's been lots of growth and new leaves. The back side you can't really see of the California Wonder, on the left, has several huge leaves I should probably take. I've raised the lights once, so far. There are buds forming on the Tequila Sunrise, and I'd like advice as to whether I should clip off buds on these guys as they're only about 6 weeks. If yes, what age is best to allow them to start setting fruit? Let me know, please. Thanks in advance.  |
