I LOVE to mow the grass. Ours is about thigh-high...it’s not drying out enough to mow between rainstorms. Grrrrrrr!

How are your peppers doing? What’s the ‘Pepper Jelly Forecast’ for this season? ;)

The constant rain we’ve been having is why mowing is occurring everyday that it isn’t raining. The riding mower gets it all done in 2 afternoons. With the regular one it is every day. I got most of the west side yard done yesterday, and hubby started the east side today. Problem is, he had done both last Thursday.

Everything BUT my peppers are growing like weeds. Well, and some tomatoes.......

Miscommunication between mommy and 10yo cost me some 30 beefsteak tomato plants. I was not a happy camper, but it was totally my fault.

I’m having seriously lousy luck with peppers on the whole. I’m doing fine with cayennes and yellow hungarians, but that is about it. I’ve got a few jalapenos and a couple assorted other ones, but other than that, PHHHHHHHHHFFFFFFFFTTTTTTT on my peppers.

Ask me about basil and that’s a whole other story -— I could keep you in pesto for years with how much I’ve got :)
