I'm a Pepper!

Yep that's right, this week I got my first banana pepper! I'm also up to three tomatoes and the lettuce is growing like a weed in the front and a bit slower int he back (perfect for rotating harvest). This means we are now only steps away from a salad and I could not be more excited!

Also, I finally caved and bought a soaker hose. My original thought was "both sets of my grandparents had beautiful gardens and I know they never had to use soaker hoses, I should not waste money on a soaker hose." Then I realized the soaker hose was $10, hopefully it helps.

The other wonderful thing you will notice is in the back behind the garden I have an entire grove of honeysuckle that has started blooming. It smells incredible! And it will hopefully attract some bees to get my squash pollinated as I have had lots of flowers but no fruit! I think more google research is going to be necessary to determine the problem. The herbs are doing well and the yard still looks good from last weeks mowing. I could not be more proud of my little veggie garden. Oh! and the front garden is getting tons of seedlings check it out! I'm really hoping they turn out to be all the flowers I planted and not a whole bunch of weeds.
