last may
the school i have helped some with their gardening
was getting its garden cleaned up for the summer
any plants left in the garden wouldnt get watered
or cared for
so if you wanted a plant you could dig it up
so
after the students parents and other teachers got what
they wanted
what was left was two peppers
one a jalapeno
the other a bell pepper
so
i dug em up
dumped em into a 5 gallon bucket with holes in the bottom
i then placed em on the patio with 5 other 5 gallon buckets
growing different plants like tomatoes swiss chard kale
peppers
now
this bell pepper liked it there
so all summer and fall
it grew bell peppers
but
well
these were different looking
at first i thought they had stayed on the vine too long
and
had rotted
nope
they were just chocolate bell peppers
no
they dont taste like chocolate
i just pretend they do
they are just dark brown in color
when the cold spell hit recently
i moved my peppers into my small greenhouse for the winter
it gets the south sun
and
has a heater in it set on 50 degrees
well
that chocolate bell pepper
loves that greenhouse
as does a juliet tomato
in the country n kitchen
thanks to the phe school for donating the plant
later as i was walking around our property
my wife she said
you know the jonquils are blooming
so i went over to see for myself
not in december i said to myself
egg update
the added light in the early morning
plus
adding 4 new laying chickens
seem to have stimulated the older chickens
to get going
i guess they didnt want those youngens to
outdo those old ladies
our egg production has increased dramatically this last week
