The last couple of days it has been raining, and I took the dogs for a walk under the trees in Abercrombie for the first time in weeks. I found that the blueberries are now in full flower, and that some of the plants already have little baby blueberries on them. I not only missed the first blueberry blossoms, but I caught it so late that we are now at the tail end of it. There are a lot of blossoms and it looks like come late July we ought to have plenty of berries.
At home my windowsill Jalapeño pepper plant has produced 2 more ripe peppers. This plant grew from a seed that somehow fell into a spider plant pot. Last summer it produced peppers that got ripe. The plant did not die, but instead had more flowers and produced more peppers - admittedly not many! I know I'd be better off buying peppers at the store.
So tonight I am going to make a deer meat stir fry and add our windowsill peppers to the mix. I might even save a few seeds and put them with another spider plant on my windowsill. And also maybe the old plant will produce a third crop!
