I know, I know...today it is 106 here. Went to the community garden, some of the green peppers will be ready for the Market next Saturday, 6 Jul. Hopefully a whole bunch of small tomatoes will be ready. The squash are just about done for and will be pulled and put in the compost heap. I’m going to put some of the 4 mil plastic over it and see how fast it decomposes.
OH, I have a little friend who is raising red wigglers for her keyhole gardens. They will be going on a 2 week trip in mid July and guess who is going to care for the little things while she and hubby are gone? Yep. They really eat a lot of scraps, so I’m going to ask some of our fast food places if they have coffee grounds, egg shells, salad scaps, for me to pick up for the little critters.
I had to thin out some more tobacco leaves today, so I've got another 5 lbs or so hanging here in the kitchen/office.
I NEED those tomatoes to get ripe. I'm out of canned tomatoes and out of salsa. I'm having withdrawals.
Still harvesting NM chili peppers. I've got enough now that it's going to be labor effective to fire up the grill with fellwood and roast them outside instead of in the toaster oven.
