Jalapeno pepper plant popping out organic healthy spices for breakfast
Picture
Kale, cabbage, and first tomatoes add the greens sauteed with garlic powder and olive oil
Picture
Last year's potato crop from my garden, this year's onions
Picture
Dumped together with six eggs added... was enough for me and my son to have a FREE HEALTHY breakfast. Zero waste breakfast with no carbon footprint!
Picture
I did not know that tomatoes got to be 6' tall. When loaded with fruit the wooden stakes ain't good enough so I had to reinforce them with steel stakes
Picture
Ghost pepper developing- spozed to be the hottest pepper- used for elephant repellent and riot control hand grenades in India. These are no joke, don't know how I'm going to use them yet. I'll prob end up giving them away to people who know how to use them.
Picture
I pulled up both rows with steel stakes and added more along the rows for added support
Picture
After HOURS of toil in the garden, order was restored. This is the way it is supposed to look! Next year, more room between the rows, plants farther apart!
Picture
CHEAP!!! CHEAP Chinese cheap products. I hate the fact that our country cares at all about doing business with that awful country. Everything that we buy/sell is made there. I see no quality in 99% of their products- CHEAP- no wonder their stuff is less expensive. Made by almost slave labor, some of it child labor, with few environmental control. I can drive an American made steel post into the ground with no fear that it's going to crumple under the stress like the cheap Chinese one. Add to that the abominable environmental carnage the Chinese have exacted on animal populations around the world, and it makes one thoroughly anti-Chinese.
Picture
I think but I'm not sure that these eggs are from the squash vine borer.

Rudbeckia 'Indian Summer' looking for attention next to the garden in an innocent patch of weeds
Picture
Emerald ash borer killed this ash tree, now it's going to heat my house this winter.
