weather is now warm enough for last season's overwintered plants seeing the light again. it appears we haven't had a real winter this year, it has been rather lukewarm and growth has continued throughout their internment period (notice the lighter shade of green while enclosed), even a few buds have popped up. from left to right, back to front: congo brown, rocoto (Chile), cumari, scotch bonnet, takanotsume, lemongrass, jalapeño and chocolate habanero.
