THE LITTLE PEPPER THAT IS

pulling off a small miracle thank you. When we got veggies for the garden out at Johnson's we picked out a couple of nice looking pepper plants and brought the whole shebang home in the trunk of the car. There are times I do miss the van.

Anyway, one of peppers was "decapitated." Took off the upper half of that little sucker. Nuts. Replaced the pepper; didn't quite have the heart to dump the oddball. Then I noticed the little leaf buds above the big leaves. So, with fingers crossed we planted it, and low and behold those little leaf buds are growing. I don't know if it'll develop enough to actually produce peppers but at least it's growing. Life is a stubborn old thing, isn't it? Doesn't want to give up no matter what.

Oh, boy...you're getting the chinese porn comments too. Most annoying.

Anyway, give it some sun, water and good weather, and the little sucker will probably catch up to its buddies in no time. Plants are smart that way...

Sounds like the little guy has learned a thing or two from dandelions!
