I forgot to say, I have ONE STRAWBERRY BLOSSOM!
Out of 44+ plants, maybe I will get one strawberry.
I have guarded those plants for so many months I should receive an honorary Security Guard badge.
I see Home Depot has lemon, lime, and orange trees for 18 bucks in their circular from today’s newspaper in TX.
I don’t know why I have never planted strawberries, I just love them.
Gracie got a hold of a dried ghost pepper that I had let lie on the soil in the planter. I saw her playing with it, but would not bite it. If she had bit it, I would know! Yesterday, she saw her first cigarette fire on the driveway from the guy that cleaned the yard, she looked at it with curiosity, eased closer and closer till she got a whiff of smoke up the nose. I dont think we will have to worry about her smoking or putting hot pepper on her food.
I think I am going to sprout some more ghost peppers for my new, not yet built, raised bed pepper garden. Not that I need them, but I enjoy giving them to friends.
