Hi Podheads,

I was checking out my plants inside and outside. They are all looking
good.Outside I found a few larvae from ladybugs and put those between the
others that were already inside on the plants. It was cool because I put one
on my Prairie Fire and the thing immediately started munching away. A whole
leaf was covered with aphids and a few hours later I checked it again and it
was clean! Man, monsters with appetite. These things are really cool to
watch.

Saturday we went out shopping in Nijmegen. I saw a new store that was called
Oil & Vinegar. We went in to check it out. Man, I saw a billion pepper
related items. A spaghetti tong with chiles on the side. Sauces, cutlery ( I
hope I spelled it right) and these Tex-Mex ceramic dishes with chile
patterns. A nacho platter, A tortilla dish and a bunch of cool (hot) stuff.
I went crazy and Emile had to settle me down. It was a bummer that the
dishes were so expensive but the cutlery was doable so Emile bought me a
knife, fork and spoon with chiles as handles. It was so cool. It really made
my day.

Garden is doing well now the ladybug larvae are keeping the plants clean.
Lots of peppers on the Jalapeno already. All the plants are blossoming.
Tomatoes and tomatillos are growing huge. Life is good.

Miss Dewi
