Pepper Garden

-
Probably about half my garden consists of peppers. 



Serrano is doing great! 




Jalapeno was slow, but now I have about 7 little babies! 


Thai pepper are slow to turn red, but there are lots of them! 


NM Chiles are doing super well and were the first to have babies.

Still waiting for the purple bell pepper to get any sort of baby. I've never had much luck with bells for some reason.

The reason I like growing peppers so much isn't for the pepper really. I can buy peppers pretty cheap at any market. The leaves are really why I grow them, they are great in salads and stir fry! Of course, the peppers don't go to waste either!

  A few weeks back I saw cute obsidian aliens like Pablo on one of those overpriced new agey sites. They wanted $45 dollars, plus shipping!

I was sitting outside and enjoying rubbing his smooth cool head, not really thinking of anything and all of the sudden the name Pablo popped into my mind! I just assumed he was telling me his name. I would expect a Chinese name, but no that is what came into my head and it was pronounced correctly. Right now I am planning on keeping Pablo next to my bed, which may or may not be a good idea. I wait to see if he has anything else to say!  Addendum: I looked up the meaning of the name Pablo and it was "small and humble." As you can see he is quite small.

Subscription Boxes, part 2: Ipsy

 COVID has been tough on all of us! Not being able to go out shopping for any girlie stuff I subscribed to Ipsy about a year ago.  For those of you who don't know, Ipsy sends out a monthly subscription bag with about 5 items. Most are sample size, but some are full sized. It is $12 per month and if you consider most full sized beauty products (of a good brand) can easily be $10, it is a good deal. Plus, you get to try a lot of new products that you wouldn't necessarily want to buy just to try them.  I just love the little bags so much! You would think getting one a month would be too much, but I use them for all sorts of stuff, not just cosmetics. They are great for crafting supplies, especially if you have a lot of small stuff like beads or even crochet supplies like hooks and needles. I even have a bag full of spare batteries!  The problem with Ipsy during this past year has been that many of the products I can't really use. Skin care and eye makeup is really abou...
