Balcony Garden – Blooming this Week
June 21, 2010 – 10:10 am
I have two pepper plants in bloom this week and they are also starting to produce fruit. Variety is Garden Salsa. Erin in Iowa is also growing the same variety on her balcony. Maturity is 73 days and the slim shaped peppers should measure about 23 cm (9 inches) when fully grown.
This is the first year for this pepper on the balcony and so far, so good. These plants have been in and out of the apartment for the last month as evening temps have dropped, but lucky for me they didn’t drop their flowers. This pepper is a relatively short plant and could be easily tucked into a mixed container planting.

You grow an amazing variety of things in such a small space.
