And yes gardening IS funny, the relative yields of a plant can vary from year to year significantly, especially with the wild weather we've been having as of late.<BR/><BR/>Courtney - Thank you for the complement in regards to my superior intellectual prowess. ;-) Just kidding.<BR/><BR/>The tea garden has been fun. I am going to get one of those "tea balls" so that when the herbs are ready, I can pick 'em, and use the ball to steep them. I was so happy to see the lavender and lemongrass sprout, now I'm waiting on the mints.<BR/><BR/>Veggie Girl - I know, the season here is quickly coming to a close.<BR/><BR/>Me too, I can't wait to pick 'em.<BR/><BR/>She is, isn't she?<BR/><BR/>Selina - I KNOW! I was seriously a little intimidated by its insane level of growth. I'm sure it is safe for pups. The pre-grown organic stuff we got from the pet store referred to the grass as "pet grass", so I think it can be given to different kinds of animals. Here is a little forum I found in a Google search that discusses the use of wheatgrass in a dogs diet: http://www.pawspot.com/forum/viewthread;jsessionid=D40800F440DC4C7FEAB59EEE854B40FE.node1?thread=1231#2006.<BR/><BR/>The peppers on the porch have done fantastic this year. And now that the squash are dead, the banana pepper plants at the community garden are taking full advantage.<BR/><BR/>Yum! I was glad to hear that you and Jason enjoyed them!<BR/><BR/>Bianca - Well, let's see, I've killed cacti - so many cacti, a bonsai tree, a wandering Jew, bamboo, an avocado tree, and more plant starts than I care to think about, so my thumb isn't really all that green. I am just persistent and incessantly read about gardening to learn how to do it better.<BR/><BR/>Oh no about the fish! If it makes you feel any better Betas are pretty easy to kill.<BR/><BR/>Shellyfish - I love the Doors so much!<BR/><BR/>That is my favorite picture as well, I love watching them eat the kitty grass.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-17905421778447653952008-09-23T16:01:00.000-05:002008-09-23T16:01:00.000-05:00That *is* a great Doors song!

I kill plants...and lately, I've discovered I also kill pet fish (I was house-sitting for a friend last week and managed to kill both of his betas...oops!).<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, glad your peppers are still producing!Biancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545245728462853370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-43988335502707655432008-09-22T19:40:00.000-05:002008-09-22T19:40:00.000-05:00uh yeah. i guess that grass doesn't mess around. ...uh yeah. i guess that grass doesn't mess around. maybe i'll see if i can get my kitties some. do you know if it is safe for dogs?<BR/><BR/>your peppers are still lovely. im amazed, i think mine are done. my tomatoes are definitely done. i need to pull them.<BR/><BR/>right now the spicy stuffed mushrooms you posted about recently are baking in the oven... super excited for them to be done.Selinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11472362080588949377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-27003454023320768432008-09-22T19:15:00.000-05:002008-09-22T19:15:00.000-05:00Autumn is in full-swing here!!

The southern variety peppers (pretty much anything with a spanish-sounding name) take forever to ripen and the fruits are fewer. Though, it does depend on the year, too- last year I had dozens upon dozens of fully ripe peach habaneros, and this year I had exactly 9 green ones. <BR/><BR/>Gardening is funny.ilexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06772649648781578752noreply@blogger.com
