I am! I think it's a good thing for my budget that the space is limited. I
could get very addicted to this...

Oooh! Sounds lovely! I love watching the flowers unfold in the morning. My
hibiscus still isn't blooming, but it seems to like the increased light:
there's new growth at most of the nodes, so maybe it will get itself going
soon...

Cool! Ok, I did; my three peppers are all in their own pots now.

I'd actually already planted them when I posted this (they don't give you
many in the little 2.99 package, and the directions told you to plant them
all), but I saved this for later reference. Amazingly enough, the seeds
germinated like crazy. I had like 30 seedlings in this little tiny pot. I
thinned out to seven *sniff---hard to do!*. Fun to watch them get bigger!
