red hot chili pepper

I was able to get about four garbage bags full of free composted manure; I checked craiglist and found several ads. The farm was just a little ways out of the city and when I got there, the horse trainer even filled up my bags for me! The annual beds looked like they needed a little extra boost this year, so I shoveled some manure around the plants. Tomatoes are on the left and then going clockwise: cucumber plants, corn, beans, cabbage, sage, melon, peppers and okra.

corn!

I found a little grasshopper hiding in the black-eyed susans

and since it is way too hot to be out in the garden all day, I've been knitting up a short sleeve cotton sweater. The pattern is called Bottoms Up by Alice of Slipped Stitch and it is free on Ravelry.
