Baby peppers and flowering peas

Hooray!  Little baby peppers are growing on my plants!  I am so excited that my veggies are actually growing.  I didn't know how things would go due to the lack of full suno n the balcony.  I guess there is enough sun in the morning.  Hopefully the warm weather will stay for a while and things will really get growing.  All of my plants are definitely smaller and slower growing than they should be.  Oh well.. they are growing and appear to be happy!

Grow my beauties, grow!

 The peas are also coming along slowly, but nicely.  I didn't know how they would turn out, but they are starting to get pretty tall and even have flowers!!  Colin hates peas, so these will be all mine!!

Pretty pink flowers... go peas! 

While out watering the plants tonight after work, I noticed that my pansies were completely infested with aphids!  Oh no!  They are so nasty looking and can be very damaging.  I have no idea where they came from; they seem to have appeared overnight.  I threw out the pansies but I noticed that there were a few aphids in my other planter, on my forget-me-nots.  So, I made a soap, veg oil and water solution and sprayed those nasty little things good.  I hope that takes care of them.  I will check to see how things are tomorrow and go from there.  It's supposed to rain overnight, so I had to move all the plants around in case it gets nasty... I tried to make sure that none of the veggies are near the infected flowers.  Stay away aphids!!
