So Long Jalapeño

Tuesday, June 10, 2008

This weather sucks to put it lightly. Rainy, windy and generally cold. The cool, damp climate has taken its toll on the pepper plants making them sag and ultimately killing the jalapeño plant. I quickly replaced the jalapeño with something called "The Ring of Fire" which sounds a little discomforting. However, the rest of the garden is doing well with the bok choy, arugula, and buttercrunch lettuce showing lots of growth (pictured above).

On Sunday during a break in the weather I planted a few more things in addition to the replacement pepper plant:

  • Ring of Fire peppers - 1 plant
  • Spinach - 6 heads
  • Zucchini - 2 plants
  • Corn - 4 stalks
With any luck the end of summer corn will be great for BBQ's along with the Zucchini. The Spinach I planted was not from seed as I am still waiting on my seeds to sprout. Speaking of which some of my seedling containers got knocked over in the wind so I have no idea which is which due to not labeling them. Oh well, marigold and spinach should be easy enough to distinguish.
