Varmints

So after I posted the picture of my baby last week some varmint came along and snatched it. I guess we weren't meant to be together. But I've been sent a new little baby to help me heal. Here she is...she's covered in cayenne pepper, maybe that will keep away the baby-stealers.

These are my tabascos, there's a lot of them and I can't wait to eat them.

This is my herb garden. My dill is turning into caraway and I don't care for caraway. So I'm letting some of the seeds dry out and fall so they come up again in a couple weeks. The others I'm plucking off and composting (throwing under my deck) so that the dill doesn't completely take over.

Here's the veggie garden, it's coming along nicely. Some of the kohl rabi that the rabbits snipped off have come back, though they're all still pretty small - they're to the left just behind the marigold border. I only have one morning glory coming up on the trellis. My thai basil is nuts, I love it. The Love in a Mist are mostly done blooming for now, they'll be back though. Pretty soon I'm gonna start digging up the potatoes. Next week maybe...
