Garden Update

20 little corn plants have taken up residence in my garden. I eagerly await the dinners of corn on the cob dripping with butter and pepper that I will be having come July. Mmmmmm.

We lost our yellow banana pepper to a band of nefarious snails. They also dined on the leaves of our jalepano and chili peppers (these guys like it spicy, I guess). We never saw any snails during the day and were wondering how exactly they were doing so much damage

4 AM
Snail : "gasp! hurry, guys! let's get out of here...they're coming!!"
(everyone takes off for the wall at top snail speed)

9 AM
(i go out to check the garden)
Snail: "whew! we just made it. that was close!!

until we looked behind the tiles leaning against the wall of the house. Many snails went over the wall. The peppers have been relatively undamaged since then. Sneaky buggers.

The tomatoes and strawberries are looking good. Nothing much to report there.

The sweetpeas are much happier in the full sun than they were over in the shade. I guess reading the labels on the back of the seed pack is a good idea, after all. Who wudda thunk it?
