That’s one of 9 Thai pepper plants (2 of which were deer-sampled – alive, but if they bloom it’ll be later this year). They are simply *covered* in peppers (or peppers-in-waiting, aka blooms). We worried a bit about having enough pollinators but the bees (and every other bug) are so in love with the mint (flowering) that we’ve more than enough. It’s a good thing these peppers dry well, since we’re going to be overloaded with them!
