What is it?

Is this a jalapeƱo? Is it ready to pick? This plant was buried by the squash, so it wasn't getting enough sun. That could explain the pale green color.



In other news, I pulled out the squash. It was flowering all over the place, but most of the squash fruits were rotting before they reached more than a few inches in length. I harvested one large squash before I did the deed, but even that one looks problematic. I will admit that I didn't plant the thing properly. I didn't build the mound and plant seeds in the middle. I just stuck the seeds in the ground.

By the way, are all varieties of squash covered with glassy filaments that hurt like hell when they stick into your skin? I didn't know the damned things were dangerous.

I moved the What is it? into the old squash spot. Now that it has room and sun, I am hoping that it takes off.

The burning bush remains are cut up and bagged. Seven lawn bags full of branches.
