I was very excited the other day when I posted the photo of the many blooms that had appeared on my cherry pepper plant. The last few days, every last one of those blooms have fallen off. Naturally, I panicked. Then I did some reading on line. I’m doing everything perfectly (and the plants are very happy plants). The weather, on the other hand, hasn’t been cooperating. It’s still getting too cool at night for the fruit to set.

For the best really, seeing as my pepper plants are still a little young and small. It would be better if they were a little more grown up before they started producing. Still, you know I am impatient. I want fresh veggies from my own garden!

Several of my tomato plants have flowers on them now. They too are a little small to be producing fruit, but I am going to let them do what they want to do. Nature usually knows best.

I just wish it hadn’t rained so much last night. I was trying to let all my containers dry out a little. I might have over-watered them this week. Growing things in containers is so different from growing things in the ground. This is sure to be a learning experience for me. Hopefully it will be a learning experience that results in fresh veggies!

I still don’t want to move my garden to the back yard, but I can’t figure out a way to convince Lin it needs to stay in the front. I think I’ll go sit on the porch and meditate on it a while. It’s such a gorgeous day today. I want to be outside!
