Edible or not?????

I bought this plant while looking for Thai pepper and after coming home read the label closely and found that the new plant I got is Ornamental Thai pepper. I did some research and couldn't get to a conclusion if ornamental peppers are edible or not. Some say they are not edible and are for purely ornamental purpose and some say they are not recommended to eat as they are too hot.

Plants went in ground little early

With unusually warmer weather, I planned on putting some seedlings in the bed. I did transplanted some tomatoes, hot peppers and eggplants on May 2nd. Tomatoes and peppers in the blue pots are doing ok, except that the 2nd row in the bed, some pepper and eggplant transplants disappeared. I am not sure what happened to them, if any sparrows plucked them ?(we have been seeing some sparrows searching for food in the bed) or they are gone with the winds we had.

Today the night temperatures are going almost before freezing. I am keeping my fingers crossed for tomatoes, but the blue pots came indoors. I still kept each of the transplants aside to plant them after the official frost date

Basking in the Sunshine...Seedling Update - May 1st


Emma F2 Sungold(Cherry Tomato)
The seedlings are enjoying some sunshine and in the process of hardening. Weather for the weekend is wonderful and this would be an opportunity for them to get some outdoor light and air. All the seedlings except for marigolds and petunias are growing under shop light. Not sure how many I could fit in the only bed I have but will try to find some home if they are healthy and happy.

August 31st harvest


Its always exciting to harvest your plants. Both the Roma tomato and grape tomato are making sure that I don't get tomatoes from grocery store. I just have 1 Serrano pepper plant and its enough for the guacamole I prepare every week. In last 2 days weather has moved from summer to fall, things are slowing down and night temperatures are already in 50s and 60s. I kind of like this weather change and it always keeps you looking forward for something new....
