A red jalapeño in our garden? What can this mean?
Nice of you to join us, bell peppers. Get growin'.
Corn silk is lovely. I want a bouquet of it.
Dear corn stalks,
Please don't grow much taller than me.
Love, Veronica
Don't ever let anyone tell you you can't, cantaloupe.
Can't wait to hold a sliced watermelon smile up to my face.
A squash escapee scales the six-foot cinder block wall. I have a feeling he will become mayor of a town, assume responsibility for a young orphan girl, and turn his whole life around.
Our red potatoes are dying. Help, someone?
Just praying the pigeons and doves prefer crickets to corn on the cob.

What a fabulous garden! I'm jealous of your corn. Our backyard isn't sunny enough to pull it off.
Jalapenos that are allowed to ripen on the plant turn red. It's normal. You can pick them green or red.
Potatoes are "hungry" plants. They needs lots of compost. If you don't have access to compost, try savings your kitchen scraps (fruit and veggies peelings, cores, etc...) and mix them into the soil around the potato plants with a little fertilizer.
Can't wait to see pictures of your harvest!
Thanks Melinda!!! I will head out immediately to feed the little guys some peach fuzz :)

That just made my LIFE.
That just made my life to have you get my references, Cindy.

I am a die-hard fan, so of course! ;) Mahon got it too. We just watched the 25th anniversary concert DVD last week.
Very fun blog! I didn't get the Les Mis reference 'til I read the comments!
Your red jalapeno means you're a "red hot mama"! Actually, your bell peppers will act the same. You and Steven are doing a great job with your garden!
