sand pail peppers
So delighted with the early pepper crop I'm getting on my windowsill. I found these sand pails at the dollar store and I liked the shape - deep enough but with a low profile for a windowledge, so got some and drilled drainage holes. The pail takes less than 2 litres of soil, and it looks like these plants will produce as much peppers as the volume of soil they're growing in.
Topepo Rosso and Sweet Banana are pictured below in a west window. It is way too early to plant peppers here, even in the greenhouse, but I'll be eating fresh ones soon. Jimmy Nardello is another type that pumps out peppers even in a small pot in a window. Anyone else have a favourite pepper that is productive in a wee pail? |
