Hello everyone! We've been on a tech-vacation and haven't even looked at a computer for a week. Have you ever done that? I like to pretend I'm from another era sometimes where nothing is plugged in. The only thing about that is that we missed GBBD, but we didn't have much to show anyway. At any rate, we're back now.
Nothing really happened in the past week except we got all the rows of the garden tilled finally (the last one on the first day of summer). I've got to say, I'm kind of disappointed in how long it's taken to get things planted. I thought we'd be this far along way back at the frost-free date in May but all the rain we've had every other day put a big hamper on the operation. I still need to till an area for our sunflower forest, if it's not too late.
Oh, remember that hot pepper from last post? It was the hottest darn thing that's ever, I mean ever, touched my lips. I thought it was gonna be a banana pepper, but --oh no! Fire!! It was creeper hot too. At first it started out tingly, then it grew to very alarming, and then I rushed to the mirror to look for chemical burns. Lastly, I ended up planting my lips on anything in the freezer they could reach. It was one of those hot peppers that is fun at first, then it gets scary and you think it's never going to reach the hottest point until it does and you panic over it. heehee
There's another kind of little pepper growing and it looks like a jalepeno. I'll be more careful with that one.
We also have three different kinds of tomatoes showing themselves. I can not wait for a juicy red succulent tomato....
And everything else is growing just fine. Seriously, that's how boring it's been here. Just watching things grow.

Sorry about the hot pepper mouth. I had to smile though remembering when teenage monkey thought a red ripe jalepno was a little tomato. Milk helps.
Glad to see you back... Here too has been slow going.. all the rain has set back my veggies big time! ah well.. too funny about the pepper mouth, sorry can't help it I think about when my daughter tasted a pepper and the faces she made, lol.

Sometimes there's really nothing to do but watch the grass grow. Some people may be bored by that in today's busy life style, but it's peaceful to me!
Glad you had a nice vacation. We've done some of those too. I like the ones where you sit around and just relax. We don't do that too often with the kids around though or they complain how bored they are.
