The Belecskai peppers are doing well now. You might remember I posted some that were yellow earlier this year. When they dried they turn a bright orange color. I figured I would leave these on the plant longer to see if they turned orange too. They did, even reddish. The one with the blue thread is the one that I netted, so the seeds will be true from that pepper. I'll save them for next year's crop.

Sunflower & Tomato Nets
I decided to keep taking photos of the sunflower until I get bored with it. So far I still like it.
This might actually be the first ripe tomato of the year. It was hiding in the lower part of the plant. It is also an Anna Russian. Much bigger than the first.
This is a net I made to keep the tomato flowers from cross-pollinating. I want to save seeds from the tomato plants I bought from Master Gardeners this year. I'm also saving seeds from the pepper plants I bought. They are all open-pollinated plants, so the seeds will be true to the original plant.
I thought this was a pretty picture of the tomato flower in one of the nets.
