My new cherry tree. It's actually nothing more than a stick in a pot with like 5 leaves and it all ready popped out a cherry!

This is one kind of weird geranium that my mom gave me. It blooms only once and takes like 8 years to get to that point then it dies... I'm SO looking forward to the bloom. It's starting to slap me every time I walk by.

This is the most recently planted bed. It's planted with the threen sister's planting method. Corn, green beans, and yellow crook neck summer squash. The green beans will grow up on the corn, the corn is really only there to hold the green beans with fresh corn as a bonus (we love to pick corn and toss it on the bar B Q so sweet!) and the squash conserves moisture by covering the bed.

I have heard of Jalepeno Jelly - - but have never tried. I've seen it in road side vendors in the Carolinas.

I use Jalepeno's in my Salsa - - - Do you think the Datil peppers would be better in Salsa ? ?

We like a little bit of heat - - not mega heat.

If we were into heat I would grow cayenne or scotch bonnets. Actually, I like banna pepper sandwhiches, but they don't have the right flavor for salsa

PM me your address and I will send you a good selection of kinda-hot peppers that have da good flava!
 
Funny that I saw this today... right now actually. I just finished scrubbing the dirt from underneath my nails from transplanting some pretty plants my MIL gave me.

I figure if the flowering kind don't die on me, then I'll be good to go for the REAL THING! I'm gonna make some rows in the back part of the property and plant BEANS and CORN. LOL. It'll be fun to watch the little sprouts come in.
 
Here is today's harvest

I actually had just as many carrots that went woody. It was 90 last week, and today it is 61 degrees.

SO- the chickens got a wicked treat. I tried to run the carrots through the food processor, but some resisted mightily. I may have busted it.

ETA: Check out the random tomato! And the red pepper! Who knew? I found them hiding in the onion patch. There was a strawberry too--it didn't make it out of the garden....
