I'm a couple days late on this entry,  had the surgery on Thursday, but on Wed.  I bought 2/6pks of bell peppers to help fill in where the garlic was dug up an let the store owner talk me into Galieth (sp) tomatoe saying any plants I bought I'd get a 10% discount.  I think he said that cause I was telling him he needed to start having some sales on the plants cuz its getting to hot to be trying to plant things here.  

I had only planned on getting my chicks some more feed an the peppers, ok ok I'm easily persuaded when it comes to plants of any kind.  His employee tried to get me to get the larger peppers that had blooms on them already, but I stood my ground on that one.  I told him NO, that I already had plenty in the ground an by getting the ones smaller I wouldn't be overwhelmed all at once with peppers.  Besides the bigger the plant in the pot may make it more difficult for them to get established.  An knowing I wouldn't be able to be out there to tend to them I think I made the right choice.  Dug a few more garlics an put them in the greenhouse shade area to cure.  While there the ones I dug the other day were doing nicely, so I trimmed off some the roots on some of them an let them be a little longer.

Seeing how nothing got watered yesterday cuz we got home late from the hospital I turned on the sprinkler this morning an got DH to change out the stations after an hour per station.   I knew not to try an pull on the hoses to change them out.  But I did pick one of the Black Krim mators while out there.  It was just calling my name, what can I say.  Ok I can't sit here long so till next time.  trudy
