Its been two weeks sense Irene went through and dumped all that rain on us. The temperatures have been in the high 80's and the weeds have gone crazy!!
 |
| Believe it or not, there are pepper plants still producing in there! |
 |
| This was the tomato bed. A few Zinnia's and volunteer melons. Nothing but weeds now! |
 |
| And if you look real close, you can still see the sweet potatoes growing in this bed! |
|
I started cleaning out the pepper bed first and got all the weeds out and rebuilt the trellis. Irene knotted the pepper plants over, So I used tomato clips and line to get them back upright.
 |
| This is the harvest for this day! 14 fruits (6 1/2 lbs!). Some of them are turning and the plants still have peppers growing! I love sweet peppers! And I can just slice this up and toss them into the freezer for later use. |
 |
| This is what the bed looked like when I finished. Much better |
I stopped at around 1500, It was just to hot! I went into the house and watched a 2 hour documentary on 9/11. If you have not seen this one, you should! Its titled "9/11 ten years later". It made me feel so very upset, Just like I did on 9/11. But it also helped me to move on and do all I can to support the war on Terrorism!
I wanted to go back out and continue pulling weeds around 1900. But by that time a cold front had come through and the temps. had gone down to 64 degrees and it was raining buckets! And that's the way it has been for the past 3 days! So the rest of the beds will have to wait for another day.
One of the things that I saw that day early in the morning was this!
 |
| A Blimp! Not something we see a lot of out here. Sorry the picture is any better. |
 |
| They had a pretty morning for the trip! |
|
That's it for now. be good!

Your weeded gardens look like new now! And who would'a thunk that there would be peppers hiding in there?? :)
