Peppers from a friend

Here’s my one habañero plant. It was started from see in late March and spent May until late October in the garden in a bed with jalapeños and cayenne peppers. This however never turned orange. I lost hope of getting any ripe fruit. Then in late October I decided that I would dig up the plant and put it into a pot. I brought it in, put in a sunny window and watered it. Over the first week it lost a bunch of leaves, but the fruits seemed to be doing OK. Then it started to grown new leaves and the fruits started turning orange. So, I still have some hope that I’ll end with with a few ripe fruits.

Then today I received a package from my former student and long time friend Jacob. It had an array of peppers including two types of habañeros. I was really excited to see them.

Here they are. I’m sure that they’ll go well with the peppers that I grew.

Thanks Jacob.
