Oh, Risa! You're such an optimist! I haven't even been able to till
my garden to get it ready for the seeds I haven't even tried to get
going (it was too cold and snowy forever, then too cold and rainy
forever). All my reading has shown that you really shouldn't till a
marsh, you know? (We're in Central Tax Hell, known to some of you as
Central Mass.) If we manage to grow nothing else this season, we're
shooting for growing habaneros indoors at least. My chinchis and
habaneros have cohabited too long, so I'm no longer sure what to call
the chinchis. Habchis? Chinbaneros? They now grow yellow or orange,
habanero colours, instead of their proper red. I figure on planting
some indoors and seeing what they do this generation. We're still
getting nights in the 40s here. There's little hope of getting the
garden ready in time to have anything ripe by the end of the summer.
We had a real gully washer last night, too. I don't *think* the
garden has washed down the hill, yet...
