I’m getting ready to plant some yellow peppers and hopefully find some red sweet pepper plants too. I’m going to plant those with my mint. LOL. My cucumbers are going crazy, they are growing every which way, except on the wire I put there for them to climb, so I’m having to tie them in place, then they shoot off a new branch in a completely different direction.. Next year, I’ll place them a little further apart and see if that helps. My yard long cucumbers didn’t do too well. I have one healthy looking plant, and one sickly looking one left. All the reast wilted and dies. Sad. There were only about 6 seeds in the package and they were expensive. My kentucky wonder beans are going nuts and the corn I planted in the center of the mound is not quite keeping up with the beans, so I don’t know if the corn will catch up so the beans can climb them. I’ll know better next year. The squirrels or something got my 3 ripening strawberries...I hope they like them. I’m going to tent the rest so we can get some. Roomey told me that snakes like black berries and strawberries. YUK. Oh, you should see my yellow bell tomatoes...there are so many little green ones close to the bottom of the plant and the top and mid section is full of blooms. My Big Red Tomato plant is just growing, it has begun to bloom. My yellow tomato is just kind of sitting there enjoying the mist, rain and sun.

Well, I’m off to read or watch a little tv, providing there’s something besides obama and hillary.
