friend had offered to give my husband a few small bell pepper plants, since he rarely grows that crop—it just doesn't seem to thrive for him.
To his surprise, the friend showed up at the house yesterday looking for him, bringing the plants in the container where he had started them from seed. There weren't many, but my husband planted them in the ground today, worried that the intense sun might damage them—especially since it hasn't rained and the stems are very weak. He watered them thoroughly, hoping they’ll look fresh by morning and that tomorrow's sun won't harm them too much.
