Blistered pepper plants and stunted tomatoes, but not a bad start for a mid-June debut. Timing was not in our favor, but escrow brought those blues. A coworker had an unexpected move and our tidy garden is disrupted by plants she didn't want to leave abandoned. Happy - stoked, even - to have them. Multiple peppers and a lone, yet fruiting tomatillo now sit among the flock.
Gratuitous view shot; the thunder never came, but the sky show was not lacking. The mercury tickled 100 today, and the air was thick. Miserable conditions bring about beauty, it seems.
My favorite rose decided to kick out the jams and bring us another round. Anyone know what varietal this is? On a huge vintage R.E.M. kick lately; the title song can be found in this epic 1985 live set...19 minutes and change.
I can never turn down a donated plant or two either. BTW - Love REM - one of the few bands where I actually purchased more than one or two CD's...do they even sell those anymore? ;)
ReplyDeleteThese compact discs you speak of...they are rare, but when found...CHEAP! Seems like people are giving them away! I still proudly flip through my giant wallets of CDs! Most of the donated plants are doing fine, but one pepper may not make it. If the others hold hold, though, we won't be lacking for salsa verde.
