Flowers are Pretty but ---

peppers taste better, so this year the bed on the south of the ranch house has a dozen pepper plants. They should come on strong beginning early fall. Would like to have about a hundred for the freezer by frost.

Uh oh, and what does the boss think of that idea then? Maybe just one or two roses as well ??

She is OK with that because she isn't much of a gardener girl and I've made a deal with an acquaintance to trade peppers for fresh fish for her that she loves. She will even eat cold fish for breakfast. And also there is some Wild Poinsettia seedlings doing well just out of the pano Pic to the right. They'll be blooming in bout a month and bloom until frost.

That seems like a pretty good trade to me. I'm growing several varieties of Euphorbia this year in the new beds, hoping it will deter the rabbits a bit, but I have never actually seen that variety before. Lovely! ....and the butterflies seem to like it too.
