Deep Purple Peppers !

Sept 10 2006.

My jalapenos in close-up showing the spreading of pigments into the fruit.

It looks black almost, but this is the same purple that arose in the lowest branch points and nodes of the pepper plants after I applied Advanced Nutrients' mycorrhizae and beneficial bacteria.

Apparently beneficial bacteria will live in any part of the host-plant, not just the roots. They will move all the way up the plant, causing growth to increase around them and 'upstream' of where they settle down to live. Like in those swollen, purple nodes I showed a awhile back. This 'black' pepper is growing out of a purple coloured node too.

I am amazed by the yield from all my pepper varieties !
