What did you do in the garden today?

What do you mean about house arrest, penny? Did you hurt yourself? Hope not!

I'm not doing a darn thing in the garden except watering the driveway plants and picking ripe stuff, both yesterday. It's HOT and muggy. Luckily, we're going to get evenings in the 60s for the next couple of days (in theory).

Did the Hibiscus flower/bloom for you??? looks like there are buds on tips of branches.

Yes it has flowered and there are buds again. I'm in the process of increasing the amount of direct sunlight it gets so I can transplant in the next couple of months.

Oh man--I'm so sorry! That sounds painful. I hope you heal up quickly and that the fires get under control. Hugs!

Oh no, penny! Pneumonia is awful terrible horrible stuff. When I had it I lost my voice so I started picking up my old ASL from when I was a kid to ask for things around the house! I hope you feel much better soon!

Good morning everyone

I watered and noticed a couple of bushes are filling in nicely. They help keep the heat down a bit that radiates from a block wall. The chickens have destroyed the compost pile again so when I raked the yard I reassembled it some before I watered that too. The pumpkin plants are still going strong, will fertilize this weekend. Still need to do the grass this morning. Coop chores are also waiting but I need to get the kids to school first. The coop yard has been turned over from one end to the other by a broody and her chick and needs to be levelled again. It's like walking an obstacle course in there.

Have a great day and a productive weekend folks

Suggestions for massive amounts of hot peppers? Cayenne, Anaheim, jalapenos.

 

[deepbluesea]

Trinidadian pepper sauce! Well, you usually make it with scotch bonnets and/or habaneros, but it would probably work, just not as hot.

7-10 habanero or Scotch bonnet chiles
10-15 garlic cloves, chopped
10-15 scallions, 1-inch pieces.
1 cup water
3/4 cup white vinegar
1 T mustard
2/3 cup cilantro, chopped
2/3 cup chadon beni (culantro)
