Did the roto tilling today just before the lightning storm hit. Tomorrow I will cover the garden with black plastic and then cover the edges, as suggested. Hope I will have a LOT less weeds next year.

It also will help next year to put the plastic down and plant as many things as you can on it. My father was great at that, he would lay plastic that you could almost bounce a quarter from.

I picked our first jalapeño pepper today, 9 of them 2.5 to 3" long.
We made poppers and I ate 7 of them with supper.
I may need a few Tums before bedtime.
But they sure were good. Can't wait to do it all over again.

I should be picking peas by the end of the week. My potatoes have blossomed, so I could start digging them anytime but just bought a bag. Last year I had a total crop failure, they just didn't produce for some reason. It's the first time in at least a decade that I've bought potatoes.

I like them about the size of a large egg, cooked until almost done, lightly flattened but not mashed, fried in butter with a sprinkle of salt and fresh dill. Sour cream on the side.
If I was going to the electric chair that would be a major part of my final meal.

It's so humid and heavy today combined with smoke from the forest fires up north I'm noy doing anything in the garden today. Water the potted stuff but that's it.
The smoke is so heavy you can feel it in the back of your throat.

Sweetcorn is doing well in my garden this year. Probably have some ready by weeks end. But the tomatoes are suffering bad. Mother nature just cannot seem to get the watering right this year

Been an amazing year in the CO mountains for growing. Rain steady but not too much. Funny just how different things can be a thousand miles away!

Do you wear a mask?
