Summer's Coming!

Yesterday I planted my little pepper seedlings in my Tomato bed. I'm hoping they do much better there than in their little peat pots. I forget to water them pretty regularly, so they all only have about two true leaves on each plant even though they're all over a month old. The only ones that aren't so old is the Anaheim pepper, I tried to sprout an Anaheim plant several times before and only on the third try does it look like it's starting to grow. It just started to pop through the surface on Friday. I also planted some Ancho/Poblano pepper seeds yesterday in hopes of getting one more Ancho/Poblano plant.

This afternoon I also picked a bunch of flowers from my garden. The sweet peas have finally started blooming strong. I assumed they'd be toast soon with the weather starting to heat up, but I guess they're just getting going. Put together in a bouquet with a few nasturtiums, they look quite pretty.


I also managed to pick one strawberry from my plants. There were two other strawberries right next to it, but this was the only one that wasn't being munched on by bugs. It may be a tiny little guy, but he sure was delicious. Just the right balance of sweetness, tartness, and flavor
