Garden update: Felice the pepper
OK, I know, this is one of those posts that will only be interesting to me and perhaps a couple other crazy vegetable garden enthusiasts. But…. I’m so proud of my pepper I can’t help but share. We’ve named it Felice (Italian for ‘happy’). Isn’t he handsome? 
At 5 centimeters high, he’s by far the largest veggie we’ve got going on, but all the other plants are coming along nicely. The zucchini plants are humongous, spreading leaves well beyond the boundaries of their respective pots. I’m worried we’ll wake up one day and find out they’ve devised a plan to conquer the world. They’re sporting several buds, but nothing blooming yet.
The tomato plants are all flowering, and we have several clusters of strawberries in progress. Everything I planted from seeds has sprouted, so well that I’m going to have to reluctantly thin some of them out so everyone has room to grow big and strong and delicious. I can’t wait to start eating out of the garden! Although, truth be told, I’ve become so attached to Felice that the thought of eating him is starting to feel a little… wrong. What, does that make me crazy? See, this wouldn’t be happening if I was allowed to have a cat.
