Green Peppers (Piman)

My two new Green Pepper (Piman) plants are starting to bloom. The plant on the right actually has Peppers. I grew these from my own seed stock. I found another plant in a different planter, but it was hidden by Tomato plant, but suddenly appeared and doing well, so except tons of Peppers this year. 

Tomato

Tomatoes are starting to ripen quickly and getting many everyday. This is just a handful of what we have already picked. This year's Tomatoes have been plentiful and delicious. Perfect texture and sweetness. I'm pleased. 
Getting loads of Tomatoes everyday.
I'm trying to grow more Tomato plants from suckers I pinched. They are a little small, but I'll give it a try. I am generally successful about half the time.

Red Leaf Lettuce (Sunny Lettuce)

My Sunny Lettuce (Red Leaf Lettuce) is almost ready to start harvesting. Leaves that turn mostly red will be ready to pick, while the green leaves in the center will remain to mature. I can typically pick leaves from one plant five or 6 times, which means one plant alone can produce a lot.

(27 Dec) I prepared four cups with Sunny Lettuce seeds on (5 December) and they just started to sprout. I will transplant these to a larger planter once they get taller. After I transplant them, I will start this process again so I can have a constant supply of Lettuce.
(3 Jan) Red Leaf Lettuce (Sunny Lettuce) sprouts doing well.
