Rainbow of Peppers
The peppers have been planted! I was thrilled to remember that their seeds are much larger than the tomato seeds I planted yesterday. The new varieties I'm trying: Orange Bell, Purple Beauty, Golden California Wonder (the green/red ones overran the farm last year), and Anaheim Hot (though not killer hot). The old standby "boyfriend peppers" are both Italian sweet peppers that grow to 10" long: Golden Treasure, and Corno Di Toro Rosso (red). I planted 18 but by the time I "thin" (scoop out with a teaspoon and plant in a separate cup), I'll probably have 40 plants. I always figure I'll loose some this way, but rarely do. What's a few extra plants when the farm has plenty of room for gardens (shhhh... don't tell Guy I said "gardens"... he's not quite up to thinking about it just yet...LOL)? It's a chilly, rainy day here today and the pups are taking their mid-afternoon nappypoo. Guy is starting to feel more human and actually had toast for breakfast then homemade chicken soup for lunch. Speaking of which, jelly beans are not going to hold me until dinner so I think I'll have a little snack to hold me over.
