My First Award

Today Granny from Annie's Kitchen Garden (one of my favorite blogs) listed me as one of her many favorite blogs and honored me with this award.

I will display it proudly.

I was given the option to pass this award on to five other blogs of my choice. I will do this at a later time.

Walking through the garden yesterday I came upon my first mini bell pepper. When he grows up he'll be a lovely shade of red.




As I was checking out the spaghetti squash...



I found this guy...




Not sure what it is but I can tell you it's just a shell. So did this guy shed his skin or was he a host to some parasitic insect?



When I find out I'll let you know.

I don't have anything planned for the garden this weekend. Mother Nature has turned on the sprinklers and her timer is set to turn them off some time Sunday.

It’s Raining… It’s Pouring…

And it's windy!

I spent the morning in the greenhouse potting up the basil, sage, cilantro, and pumpkin peppers. I also started Round French Zucchini and Small Wonder Spaghetti Squash seeds. The greenhouse is really starting to fill up.

Speaking of cherry tomatoes... I saw this cool photo on Renee's Garden of sungold cherry tomatoes growing on a arch.... Now i wonder if I can do that?

Well I just happened to have an arch that I'm not using.. so into the tomato bed it went. Why not give it a try?

Photo Below: This is my next big project... geting the pavers laid down in the side yard so I can clear up this area for the potted plants that are in the middle of the patio. All the containers you see in this photo are filling with rain water. We will have rain on and off all week. I really need to get a nice rain barrel.
