These are still doing well, they've spread out quite a bit! Unfortunately they've also engulfed the yucca, which I haven't transplanted yet. Though when I moved the leaves aside the yucca are also still going strong!

These are getting more bushy than tall lol. Soon I'll have to move the Yucca somewhere else so they can get more light

These are still pretty squat but such big healthy leaves are always a joy to see. The yucca also still seems perfectly happy to be co-existing with the peppers

The peppers and yuccas look very artistic together. Nice arrangement!

My biggest concern with the yuccas staying in there is that the peppers' growth will likely outpace the yuccas' soon. For now the yuccas are keeping up a lot better than I thought they would, but if the peppers start shading them I'm going to have to move the yucca plants somewhere else. For now I'm just enjoying them where they are, I agree they look really nice together!

Peppers are growing nicely, and finally got the runaway yucca shoved back in the pod. It hasn't tried to walk back out yet, which is nice

The little peppers look happy. The nomadic yucca is hilarious. Glad you got him to settle down.

The three middle remind me of rabbit ears, do not ask me why but they do LOL

NutrientsAdded nutrients to the garden.
TrainingTried unsuccessfully to push an escaping yucca back into its pod.

M By maskedsonnet

Added nutrients and tried to stuff the yucca that seems determined to escape the pod back down. It didn't work lol, guess he's just going to grow on the deck instead. It's still small and tender enough I didn't want to get too rough
