It's Little Plantie! Awww...

ever since the days started getting shorter, plantie wasn't getting hardly any sun. he had a bad enough spot to begin with, since all those pine trees were being uber tall to compete with one another, and blocking out the sun for poor little plantie.

so, i got one of those little plantie lights from lowe's and started him on it right about the start of november, and here is his progression:

november 15th, he'd been under the light for a little over 2 weeks, and he'd already started ''reaching'' towards it.



here he is, december 6th, obviously loving the light. i hadn't seen 'im doing this well since the full sun he got in CA, or that big patio door at mom's house :-)

just one week later, those flowers had turned into peppers! but little plantie wasn't finished.



January 20th, plantie changed colours!

i'm so proud of that deep red he's gotten them. it's so pretty! :-D


and this little guy is the product of one of plantie's peppers. one seed out of that pepper ''made it.'' it somehow lasted from the end of may all the way up to about the middle of november, when it started to sprout. look at 'im. awwwww! :-)
