I didn’t think planting a garden would have such an impact on my morning routine, but every day I wake up looking forward to seeing what magic has happened overnight. The truth is, I can’t believe how fast my little garden has matured in such a short period of time!

Photo Credit: Brandi BhamaniThe original pepper that was featured in Little Pots was removed from its steam a little early due to a damaged spot on the skin. Sadly I didn’t get a picture of this, but it was a bruise the size of a quart that was beginning to attract little insects. I determined it was better to remove it than risk the safety of the plant as a whole. Seemingly enough this did the trick because I now have a new little pepper without a trace of bugs.

Photo Credit: Brandi BhamaniI do have to admit that his photo makes the kale look rather large – on the contrary, the plant is only about 4-5″ tall at this point. I’ll have to start placing my hand in the picture to show for comparison. π€
I spend my days searching for beauty in the ordinary. I am a mother, a partner, a grower of all things, and a planter of seeds. There is always room at my table where you'll find a hot meal and conversation waiting. Black Lives Matter, Love is Love, and NO Human is illegal.
