#Pep and Tucker are a different variety so I'm not expecting them to bud yet

[shadedfantasy]

My pepper children are beginning to bloom! Today Marcus opened up his first flower and I'm very excited. This is the very first one and I had no idea that they would be so small or so cute!

Pep and Tucker have not begun budding, but Marcus has this flower plus 2 more buds, and Charlotte has 2 buds of her own. I decided to wait a while before I fertilize the flowers, to give the kids more time to grow. Marcus is easily my heftiest pepper child, but he's still only about as tall as a bell pepper is, so he certainly wouldn't be able to support a fruit as big as his entire body! I'm very proud of him for trying though :)
