Today, I pulled 6 anaheim peppers and 3 jalepenos off when I got home from work. I ate them all, right there, in my back yard. The jalepenos had some bite to them, but the freshness and (all I can think to call it is) water balanced it. Really cool... Actually, really hot!  |
I love peppers. Ever bitten into a garden habanero?

My peach tree is out of fruit. The squirrels seem to have enjoyed them much more than I. I would guess that I had a total of 20 or 30 peaches myself, many 5 or 6 at a time. The squirrels upset me a bit though. They'd come down, take one or two bites, drop it on the ground, then tear into another one. I don't mind the animals eating, but that's just wasteful and someone should speak with their parents.

Squirrels are so abundant here. The hawks in the area can't take up the slack, so I no longer brake when they make their suicidal, impromptu dashes across the road. (only kidding...I tap the brake from respect)

It's getting hot here. It's not July/August hot, but it's close. I think we hit 97 today, so I've had to water my plants more. My black-eyed susan vine needs different soil. I have to water her more than the others, as she gets very crispy in a hurry. Full sun my ass!

We finally got our first REAL rush of T-storms the last couple days. Everything here is unusually bone-dry and it doesn't look good for water levels.
My pepper plants are doing well though and hopefully I'll be able to get some lettuce. My seeds failed (probably because of the late planting) so my ambitions for a 'real' garden are set back at least another year.
In the meantime, I want to try what I can at this point, although I seem limited by the region and season.
