Yay! Reports of the death of my peppers have been greatly exaggerated (by me - what a pessimist!)

They have flowered! Ridiculous plants, really.
They are supposed to dislike the wet, and yet it has rained EVERY DAY since my birthday. No, really, EVERY SINGLE DAY. But I'm happy of course.

First picture - sorry. Photography 101 - don't take a photo of a plant against the background of other plants! Gives you a general idea of their legginess.

Second pic is a close-up to show the blooms, obviously. Which I hope will become my peppers!
I think this is the jalapeno plant - I can no longer remember. The other ones are doing okay - they're like hobbits. Small and sturdy and getting on with it. But no flowers, so no photos. That'll larn 'em, life is a beauty contest!

Oh, and major congrats to the real gardeners out there
I envy your space, your commitment and your climates.
