The bell peppers have grown very strangely this year. The plants are huge with lots of vegetation and height (I've never seen pepper plants as tall), but there has been very little actual pepper production. I noticed a few tiny peppers on the plants last night, but they have a long way to go and the weather is already showing signs of autumn.
The four active boxes take over a gallon of water every day
Have you had any luck growing tomatoes indoors during the winter? Do you know anybody who has?

Maybe try pruning the tips of the branches... that's where the growth centers are, and if you trim those off, the plants will spend less energy growing themselves and have more available for making big tasty peppers.

Great piece on Holy Land! My mother cared for John Greco in the final year of his life. I grew up in Waterbury, but was never brought up to see Holy land. I guess the place was so trashed at the time, my parents feared I would get hurt up there. It is too bad as I would have loved to have seen it.
