The ones I saved from last season are all doin well so far but none of 'em (save one) are doin stellar. They've filled out Ok but they don't seem to really be puttin on any new growth yet, and they've been outside for over 2mos. now.

The one cayenne plant I have from last year however is growin like a mad man (again) and is covered with fresh peppers!

Just to add some variety and color to my pepper plants I added some cuttings from my abundant supply of Moss Rose.

In other gardening news I split up a huge pot of Aloe Vera I had that was so full of babies it filled up about 8 other pots. At least now the mama plant with its 24" fronds has ample room to grow again.

The 1/4 acre or so garden we had last year is lying fallow this year until we can sort out how to supply enough water to the area. Between the lack of enough rain and the damned grasshoppers everything died out by early August last year.

We've been lucky enough to have found a tree removal service that needed a place to dump the shredded loads they have gotten from the tornado clean ups and so far they've dumped 3 dump truck loads which we'll be plowin and tillin into the garden area this fall. The ground here has so much clay in it it's like rock once it gets dry so these loads will really help in softening up the garden area and add in lotsa great plant food at the same time.

I need a buncha chickens to gobble up the hordes of damned grasshoppers here! They are already worse so far than last year and they were really bad then!

I guess since pulse changed the IOT(Q)W I'll hafta make good on my word and take/post some pics of my babies
