Impressive. Most Impressive.

This morning I woke up and instantly went to take a look at my pepper colony. I am still impressed with the quick recovery and growth of my plants after buying the lights. In fact it looks like Pousse might potentially pull a full on zombie. Her stalk has straightened and while her leaves look very wilted, she could pull a magical miracle and pull through.

Pousse, the little pepper that almost could! 

Spicy McPepperson is looking fantastically well if I do say so myself. The Master of the pepper universe has shrugged off the droop and is standing straight and tall, ready to rule his domain. 

Magnificent!

In totally unrelated news I am making the decision to start eating healthy and to be more active. I went and was sized for a bike this weekend and plan to start biking back and forth to work everyday. I want to feel healthier, get into much better shape as I plan on playing soccer all summer and explore and enjoy this wonderful city that I call home. 

I am also happy to announce that a good friend of my has started his own blog! He is also planting a garden this year and knows much more about gardening then I. Please welcome him and give him your support! http://gardenbadger.blogspot.ca/

Finally, I don't know who you are but your license plate is IMPRESSIVE. MOST IMPRESSIVE. I hope you drive around all day and feel like an all powerful Sith Lord, or, at the very least, like a boss! 

Our first catch of the day!

IT'S ALIVE!!!!

I HAVE A SPROUT!

I woke up this morning to a HUGE surprise. I planted my pepper seeds on March 18th and it usually takes about 7 to 9 days for germination to take place. However I cracked open the lid on my greenhouse this morning and was surprised to find this little guy! 

THE SPROUT!

Needless to say I am exceedingly excited! However, I couldn't dilly dally the day away gazing at my new baby plant as I had to go to a birthday party. I snapped the above picture, packed up the car and drove the fun bus over for the party. I had a ball!

I had a soccer game today at 5:15 and made it back to Hamilton just in time for my game. After a poor showing last week, we came out strong as a team. Their goaltender had a blinder of a game, making numerous point blank saves and rushing off of his line to make several crucial interceptions. However, we held strong, dug deep and on the back of a tremendous hat trick pulled out a deserved 3-1 victory. HUGE WIN BASHERS!

I came home to find my new plant had another surprise waiting for me. By 7:00 pm, this pepper plant has at least doubled in size! Take a look!

We have a grower! 

I feel that to honour the tremendous little pepper that grew, that it be given a name. I am open to taking name suggestions until 8:00pm tomorrow evening, March 23rd, 2015. All names will be considered and I will pick the best one tomorrow at 8:00pm! May the odds be ever in your favour!
