Wilbur the Pepper Plant
Good things come in small packages. This is true in the case of one of my pepper plants. I have named him Wilbur, as in Wilbur the pig from Charlotte's Web. Wilbur is the runt of the family but is quite the pepper producer. My theory is that since Wilbur isn't expending energy on growing tall, the energy is spent on producing the peppers. As of today, the count is 7 peppers on Wilbur. The size difference between Wilbur and the other plant, as yet unnamed (I'm open to suggestions) can be seen in the photo below. It's a big difference!

I've always thought small is good!
