Nailed It

I recently managed to grow tropical fruit inside my home for the first time. I took some bell pepper seeds from a fruit and planted them in a window box. The window ledge is inside my home so the bees couldn't pollinate the little white flowers. The flowers would just shrivel up and fall off. I tried to use a small paint brush to transfer the pollen between the flowers, it worked. The flowers produced fruit. The bell peppers started off green, then they slowly turned red. 

The plant itself didn't grow very much until I tried using the waste water from my fish tank to irrigate it. I think the water had a lot of nitrates in it. 
I love to eat a lot of processed food like instant noodles and bread, it's nice to add some fresh home grown tropical produce to my meals. 

At the same time I noticed the motorway gantries had some graffiti on them. There is banski then there is baloney. It looks horrible. I wish they wouldn't do that.
