Thank you to each and every one of you for your kind comments!

At this point, my jalapenos, while still doing very well, are the smallest of my plants. The birds ate the rest of my plants (except two serranno pepper plants). To replace the eaten plants, I bought two mature cayenne plants (the birds wiped out all of my cayennes), and one serranno plant (I still have two serranno seedlings going strong), and one Chile Red (a Mexican variety, that is supposedly "hot" - I'm assuming they're around serranno hot). I also added two Thai Dragon pepper plants to the collection. The jalapenos are still going strong, and looking really good. One of the Thai Dragons bloomed three days ago (picture in attachments).

In other news, all three tomato plants are blooming like mad, and the strawberries are producing more flowers than I'll know what to do with. Ten plants originally, but I haven't been cutting runners, so we're more like 16-18 plants now. Roughly 16 flowers that have been fertilized and dropped their petals and are growing fruit. Additionally, there's at least 30+ more flowers blooming now, with three times that on the way with new buds. I'm hoping for a huge crop of strawberries over the next 30-45 days. I am keeping them all very well watered!
