It's our second spring planting and we are hot! hot! hot! No, seriously, we're hot. We have a cayenne pepper plant, a red chili pepper plant and a serrano pepper plant. We also planted green peppers and banana peppers and for that odd bit of flavor a white eggplant. Here's the kicker...I just found out that if you plant hot peppers near mild or sweet peppers they will be hot also. So guess who is going to have spicy banana peppers, spicy green peppers and spicy white eggplant? Yep...us, but I don't think the families at the Forest Park Ministry Center will mind. They might just appreciate a little spice in their usually sweet and mild dinners.
It's also our second season of composting. We were able to fortify all of our pots with our homemade fertilizer and evidently some of the seeds in the compost survived the break down phase. We have 2 tomato plants, a pumpkin and 5 or 6 squash plants coming up in the most unusual places. What can we say? We love to surprise ourselves!
New additions to our garden for this spring. We put a bigger pot around the base of our butterfly bush. It's looking awfully proud and standing tall as the center of our garden. We created 2 strawberry "fountains" and lined the sidewalk with impatiens. The DandyLion class of 2012 each chose and planted an impatien as a way to say "so long!" to the CDC.
If you get a moment, walk out the back door and look to your right as you walk down the sidewalk. See some of the wonderful things that God is doing and your children are discovering this spring at Heritage CDC.
