What’s Growing On…

 

First of all, my poor little camera has a hard time with these close-ups, sorry for the fuzz, again. Anyway, I have several things growing under the lights right now, some have a definite purpose, and some are just for color. I have a lot more than what I will eventually put out for my own use, but I plan to give away quite a bit. Here is a list, please comment if you have grown these varieties before, I would love to hear about it.

Bell Peppers, California Wonder (4) & Purple Beauty (3)
