What kind of peppers are those?

I think your mystery plant looks like a California poppy, unless it's got a woody stem then it's probably wormwood.

Pretty nice green sugar you got going on there.

Yup it does look both of those, its leave look fairly glaucus (bue-ish grey, silvery) which would make me go towards the wormwood side of things.
Without a good picture hard to tell.

Nice advice on the stem feel/ structure.

California poppy is a plant. It is the state flower of California. People use the parts that grow above the ground for medicine.

California poppy is used for trouble sleeping (insomnia), aches, nervous agitation, bed-wetting in children, and diseases of the bladder and liver. It is also used to promote relaxation.

In combination with other herbs, California poppy is used for depression, long-term mental and physical tiredness (neurasthenia), nerve pain, various psychiatric conditions, blood vessel problems, sensitivity to weather changes, and sedation. An herb combination including California poppy is also used for sleep and mood disturbance associated with strong, warm wind in the Alps (foehn illn ess).


Wormwood is an herb. The above-ground plant parts and oil are used for medicine.

Wormwood is used for various digestion problems such as loss of appetite, upset stomach, gall bladder disease, and intestinal spasms. Wormwood is also used to treat fever, liver disease, and worm infections; to increase sexual desire; as a tonic; and to stimulate sweating.

Wormwood oil is also used for digestive disorders, to increase sexual desire, and to stimulate the imagination.

Some people apply wormwood directly to the skin for healing wounds and insect bites. Wormwood oil is used as a counterirritant to reduce pain.

In manufacturing, wormwood oil is used as a fragrance component in soaps, cosmetics, and perfumes. It is also used as an insecticide.

Wormwood is used in some alcoholic beverages. Vermouth, for example, is a wine beverage flavored with extracts of wormwood. Absinthe is another well-known alcoholic beverage made with wormwood. It is an emerald-green alcoholic drink that is prepared from wormwood oil, often along with other dried herbs such as anise and fennel. Absinthe was popularized by famous artists and writers such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Degas, Manet, van Gogh, Picasso, Hemingway, and Oscar Wilde. It is now banned in many countries, including the U.S. But it is still allowed in European Union countries as long as the thujone content is less than 35 mg/kg. Thujone is a potentially poisonous chemical found in wormwood. Distilling wormwood in alcohol increases the thujone concentration.

How does it work?
Wormwood oil contains the chemical thujone, which excites the central nervous system. However, it can also cause seizures and other adverse effects.
 
Bruce nice zen garden I hoping it is bringing you inner peace and relaxation.

Yeah get rid of those eggs don't want any slugs chopping you ladfies.

Have a good grow man
 
Yo people thanks!:D

Absinthe is not bad but pretty expensive, in Serbia we like to drink Pelinkovac (made from it among other herbs)

Snails have GPS and Radar, but also sense when you are nearby so they play dumb like "they don't go for your plants"... there was also one case of possible teleportation in Germany, but I need more proof for that lol :D And they are maybe slow, but munch very fast and much!
I don't like to kill them, instead I launch them over the roof to the neighbours chickens:rofl:
