I dug it up at work!!

Last year before I worked for Chili's they had ornamental peppers as part of their landscape. This year I watched a plant like this grow outside the front door. I researched it and found that it was called a "Black Pearl" ornamental pepper. I also found different suggestions as to weather you could eat it or not. With the cold coming on I didn't want it to die so I dug it, well actually 3 of them, up. I now have it sitting in my kitchen. I am not sure if the 2 large plants are going to make it, as they have been here for a couple of days and are still rather wilty. The third smaller plant looks better and will probably do ok.

As you can see it is rather a pretty plant. I hope to start a bunch from seed and maybe sell them. I have been toying with the idea of starting a business selling seeds and plants. There is a local domestic violence shelter, beautiful on 40 acres, close by that I would like to find the funding to start a business there that will allow them to make a little money and help the women make some money for when they go out on their own again. Right now that is difficult for them.

We will see where the future leads. Definitely toward some more plants growing!!
