I had one potted plant from this past year's hillside garden, containing one each of decidedly underachieving bell pepper and bean plants. Neither did well during the summer, but the green bell pepper rebounded once the weather cooled. It gets below 40 degrees lately, and the thing is positively perking up on the front deck, with new fruit looking green and vibrant.
I was so inspired I decided to plant two new plants indoors, in a/the windowsill. I got them both sewed in moist potting soil, and forgot which was the lettuce, and which was the bell pepper. So, I made little markers that stab into the soil out of slices of milk carton, and placed each one in its respective pot, with a 50/50 chance of being correct.
Also, I've been feeding black oil sunflower to the local birds for weeks now. Yesterday I put out some peanuts for the first time, and got a fuzzy new visitor. I do enjoy the wildlife.
