Lucy arrived this afternoon from Amazon. I had already cleared a space on the shelf under the Ranches, so the oh-so-easy setup meant she could go right into her new quarters.
Lucy is planted with four do-it-yourself seed pods with Mini Bell Peppers from Pepper Joes. Hopefully, they're far enough apart not to interfere too much with each other.
She gets her name from Lucille Ball. I already had a Phredd and Ethyl, so it just seemed fitting. To get an idea of location, let me pull the camera back a bit...
Lucy and The Ranches
Don't be fooled. That's a full-sized bookcase. The Ranches are on top, and Lucy's grow lights are at my eye level.
