September 24

If 2020 has revealed any truth, it's that this life is unpredictable.

Take my gardening. Usually, I wind up with overly healthy tomato plants that overproduce delicious fruit. That didn't happen this year. Sure, I've had some tomatoes, but not nearly as many as usual.

My bell pepper, plants, though... they've taken off like gangbusters. The peppers themselves are plentiful in number and in color: there's the huge yellow one, some that are turning a vibrant shade of red, and a host of black ones and green ones on the plants in the back. And even now, each plant has new flowers so they may well continue producing well into the fall.

Funny thing about is that I've never been able to get bell peppers to grow. But this year... this year, they're thriving.

So look at it this way: this year definitely isn't going in a direction that any of us would've liked or planned. But that doesn't mean it can't still be good -- maybe you just need to look for surprise bell peppers instead of the tomatoes you usually harvest.
