SWEET! well if you need more I figured out that Bibo3 on record street has a much better system of saving grounds than the mt rose location. Since the espresso grounds dont get dumped into the garbage immediately, they get bumped into a container and that container can be emptied into something else. Some customers bring in buckets and give us a couple of days to fill them. It works a lot better if youd like to do that.
I knw what you mean about those lil purple guys! I have about 3 on each plant so far. I keep thinking about PURPLE pico de gallo, omg.
Which pepper was that? Sahuaro? Or the heirloom Anaheim? Not a lot of people were excited about the Sahuaro this year. Except ME! Grilled then stuffed with cheese? Mmmmm! And I'm so excited about taking my first picture of my rainbow tomato bowl! In addition to the indigo rose, cherokee purple, pineapple, early girl, and tumbling tom yellow, I also picked up an ananas noir (black pineapple,) black krim, big rainbow, white cherry, brandywine, and rainbow cherry. And I have a volunteer of something growing right in the middle of my basil bed. I'm not sure what it is yet, but the tomatoes are large, and it's in a bed that I haven't yet used to grow tomatoes (on purpose, that is.)
I would LOVE more coffee grounds!!! I've been dumping them all on Garden #2, but #1 still needs some love. Plus, all these pumpkins are going to need to pick up nutrients from somewhere.
Yeah I immediately noticed the purple tomatoes at Missy's place. My next project is definitely going to be the hoop house. I need to get my plants started much earlier (amd keep them going much later). I have some Cherokee Black seeds that I would love to try out.
What is the "Territorial" site Missy? (Just what I need - another gardening website to buy stuff from)
Territorial Seed. They're a little expensive, but the shipping is flat rate. And a lot of their stuff is heirloom or open pollinated. A bit of hybrid stuff, so you have to make sure you read the description if you want to save seed. My wild lettuce blend, which I'm VERY happy with, came from Territorial. In fact, I'm planning to relocate my greenhouse to the back garden after the harvest, and grow lettuce in there all winter. It did very well this spring, even coated with ice.

Next year, though, I'll probably end up putting together a group order from Tomato Growers. There's a variety on there that Sunny was looking for, and a lot that I want to try, as well.

Hes so gangly. Some marans people have told me that it looks like he has some game bird mixed in him somewhere down the line. They think he should be chunkier and have some curved tail feathers by now. Im just glad hes starting to really get some gold in!
