Hi group,
I thought just to spice things up I'd post some pix of the veggies so far. That is only a pun as these peppers are not hot or only very mildly hot. The peppers were stubborn to come up so I put a crock pot filled with water under them to warm things up. Peppers seem to need that and it still took almost two weeks to break the surface.

I'll also include some stock photos of Fushimi and Shishito peppers as they are not well known other than in Japanese or other Asian cuisine. They are best enjoyed lightly grilled or raw on/with salads. Kitazawa seeds in CA has the best selection of special Asian veggie seeds:

Enjoy!
