Something has been eating the leaves, but the plant is doing really well! This came from a seed from a pepper from the store - it was labeled as either an “ancient” or a “twisty” pepper.
This is the biggest pepper on the biggest plant and is around 6 inches long! (all I had with me for scale was my hand, but later remembered that none of you know how big my hand is 😋) It’s in one of the half-barrel sized planters with another of the same kind, and 2 tabasco pepper plants.
If you don’t want critters eating your veggies, you have to set up a fence around your garden.
Or just grow enough strawberries as tribute, apparently…
It does help to live in the middle of a fertile forest, with lots to eat. But I still have no chance of getting strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or currants for myself without a fence. Even with raspberries and blackberries growing everywhere wild, they’ll still eat all mine.
