I love trying new varieties & since I'm relatively "new" to gardening that is easy. It is also easy to learn from your mistakes. I named the garden after 2 of my kitties (my other passion) because they love hanging out there with me.

| Ms. Cheap & the disposable gloves. Jul 16, 2012 | |
|
I use disposable gloves when cutting my hot peppers. But as I tend to be economical, frugal or, shall we say, cheap, I tend to re-use my disposable gloves (not that I have a lost invested in them money-wise). I suited up with my gloves Saturday for the first step in my salsa-making to cut my peppers. Not even half-way through,... ...see more |

Yes, LOL, my cats are always under my feet when I am in the garden. They just do not understand that I am here to see the plants and not them. :) :) |

Hopefully I will get a lot of gardening done this weekend. We've had some rain the past couple of days and I haven't been out there. Hopefully I will get some harvesting done & then move on to canning or preserving what I have harvested. I really need to clean up the area where the onions & tomatoes where. My... ...see more |

That looks like a fun list. I have only heard of a few of them and have not grown any of them, so I will look forward to seeing what they are like through you! :) Have a great weekend! |

How cute... too funny. What a great shot, and it looks dark so it makes it even better. What a character. |

We've been getting more than our share of rain since Sat. when we got almost 4 inches. More expected tonight. |

Sounds like what I need - on both accounts! The kitchen's a bit of a disaster because I'm spending all my time out watering! |

It's raining - no straight line winds, microburst or downdraft targeted at the garden. It is time to celebrate!!!

Funny, they kept saying sun here, and we would get rain and wind... now finally the sun is shining and making up for being gone.... so hopefully those who need rain, will get a nice, gentle, moderate rain. :) |

Good to hear your rain was uneventful; I'm getting to the point where I brace myself when they say rain is heading our way! |

Yes, today I heard crunchy grass. That is VERY unusual around here. We usually can count on something coming in off of the ocean at least once a week. Nothing! |
