FOLLOW-UP GARDEN REPORT

by Robin

My back has had me flat out of commission for a couple/few days so it was nice to walk outside and see what was new. God provided much rain yesterday. The garden looked healthy again.

My "chocolate" Sweet Bell Peppers have turned their color and I wanted to share that pic w/ you. I'm having the hardest time convincing my youngest that they will not taste like sugary treats.

My hot pepper garden is very happy between the heat & water & soil conditions. They are thriving! Click to enlarge this picture. You'll see all the jalepenos on the right and Anaheims in the center plants. Btw, there is no order in that section of garden. Plant species were not known at the time of planting.

I have a garden buddy at church and we've been sharing plants & seeds. Tonight, I hope to receive some rosemary and purple basil plants.

Here is my eggplant plant. It is filling up its cage but so far, no eggplants. I even tried pollinating it myself. It has a touch of something whitening the leaves. Must look that up.

The garden needs some serious weeding & TLC soon. I tried to do some Sunday and got stung by a wasp who thought I got too close to his nest in the ground. I'm so thankful that I am not allergic to bee stings. I've had my share at this house already.

Any prayers said for my back injury would be much appreciated. (Happened while painting the room, but further aggrevated by carrying books back to the room.)
