I hope the new pepper plants grow well for you. I have seedlings for fall crops growing too and they looked like something was eating on them. It seemed to stop so hopefully they will have a chance to finish hardening off and be planted out soon. I am going to direct seed some kale this weekend as well for the fall crops. <br /><br />Your green thumb is showing again, as your garden and flower pots look beautiful.kitsapFGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06120640838501186514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-55915422997654740152012-07-19T07:53:21.577-04:002012-07-19T07:53:21.577-04:00We have been lucky to get nice rain on Sunday and ...We have been lucky to get nice rain on Sunday and then again yesterday.
