I’ll admit, the garden is looking a little, hot, but I suppose it should after the driest August on record, and more days over 100 than not.

August

But like mama says, it’s not the cover of a book that counts, its how many juicy tomatoes and hot peppers it gives you.  And this struggling little garden is still cranking out the juicy hotness. 

Jalaps

Jalapenos are spitting in August’s face.  Same with the basil, tomatoes, watermelon, and cut flowers, all of which serve both a culinary and display role inside the restaurant and bar. 

Fall seeds have been purchased and planting begins next week, as we’ve spent much of August cleaning up and prepping new beds.  It’s raining at this very moment, my money is on the garden to perk up by sunrise…
