I actually got this back in April 2011 but didnt post it up as I considered it not an integral part of the garden, but its survived my absense and a hot summer and has produced a Jalapino.
Im hoping that this plant will survive year after year. Its placed near the roof line where it should get a bit of extra natural rain water when it rains from the roof.
Dead.
Never thought id see this surviving, but here it is with another jalapino on it.
Looks ok considering it probably dried out over summer. The pot inside it are some red peppers.
