Notes
Hand-written tag reads "1/11 Pepper, Red beauty".
2013-07-28: First few (of many!) peppers eaten while still green.
2013-08-20: First fully red pepper.
2013-09-22: Eating and giving away lots of bell peppers.
2013-10-07: Picked and pureed the last of the ripe peppers. The plant is still growing new peppers and flowering, but it is also shedding leaves.
2013-12-28: Retired (so we could reuse the pot). The plants had another dozen peppers still on them, in varying stages of ripeness.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
