Merle,
Looks like pepper plants.
Cabbages in a grocery store also maintain, BTW, a diurnal rhythm.
Their clock keeps up the daily cycle of light and dark as from when they were
harvested, and certain chemicals go up and down in concentration in their
leaves. In particular, the useful chemicals to humans from crucifer plants
drop about 50 percent in daytime. The plant makes these chemicals to make the
plant less palatable at night to insect pests, which attack during dark hours.
But these chemicals are beneficial to humans' nutrition. So, give even your
harvested cabbages and Broccoli a dark-light cycle, and eat the leaves,
florets, and stalks in early morning, maybe until shortly after sunrise, to get
most nutrition. Otherwise, just eat more of them.
A study should be out next week about this. You'll see word of it!
