Jalapenos - 2

When I first started working on this photo I figured I'd have to just say that Jalapenos must grow slowly because it looked the same as before... but first I went and looked at my last jalapeno post and there was a good change in growth after all so YAY!

I still think the plant is growing slowly in comparison to other plants I have going but have read that the amount of peppers it gives is plentiful. And I have several jalapeno sprouts going to! At first, I was only going to put some jalapenos in salsa to can for the year... but since I had sprouts going I figured why not get all I can get and pickle them for the year too! Every little bit will save money ;) 

Several of these plants are going to be a little waiting game for me. I had to carefully move them around before the roots all tangled with one another so they'd have space to grow and so they'd be easy to transplant into their own pots later.

To save on money, I figured I'd use pots I already had to get things started. It didn't hit me until last night while watching a The Rusted Garden video that styrafoam cups would make the absolute best and cheapest pots ever until the plants were large enough to go into larger pots.

Live and learn and save money next year ;) lol
