We finally found a single banana pepper plant at Farm and Fleet. It was much bigger than the one I planted Sunday, but I really wanted to get another one in the ground.
I went to plant it and realized this is a sweet banana pepper plant. The previous plant was a "hot" banana pepper plant. Variety is the spice of life, right? I had no idea there were differences in banana peppers considering the "hot" ones are only mildly hot!
After a quick google search, I'm still equally confused - it appears there may be no difference between these plants! A lot of websites use a general "banana pepper" term.
While I'm on the topic of confusion, I would like to talk about my asparagus. My mom told me it takes awhile (like years) for asparagus to grow. She said it would take more than one season for it to produce anything. I listened but disregarded her comments when my package of asparagus roots mentioned nothing of the sort!
Monday, I found aspargus plants at Farm and Fleet. Their package said they would not produce asparagus this year. FRUSTRATION. So, I turned to my friend, Google. My research concluded that asparagus does take three years to mature and grow to the vegetable we see in the stores. No wonder it is so expensive! Sorry, Mom
This research left nothing but questions for me. How old are my roots? Are they on their third year? Is that why their package didn't mention waiting years for a product?
I'm hoping that I purchased three year old roots and I will be pleasantly surprised in 72 days! I'll keep you posted.
