Welcome October!

 It's the first day of October!

I went out to the garden to check on

what's going on out there...

my roma tomatoes have absolutely

taken OVER the little raised bed

they are in.

They are LOADED with fruit,

but this late in the season,

its doubtful they will ripen.

And then....

I saw them!

I planted 3 little purple peppers.

(And 3 little no heat jalapenos)

but the romas just over grew them and

pretty well everything else.

But there they were!

Three little snack sized purple peppers!

Exciting!

I'm looking forward to next year's garden.

We will implement many of the things

we learned this year.

Like butternut squash likes to grow on the 

ground better than on a trellis.

And the peppers should really be separate

from the tomatoes.

And plant romas EARLY and don't bother with

Amish Paste. Just do Roma instead.

Etc etc etc.

I'm going to run out to the farm for a bit.

I'll bring those little peppers and a tub

of cream cheese to dip them in.

Gotta check on my baby chicks 

(not so baby anymore...)

and the piglets (also growing) and

just generally check on how stuff 

is coming along up there.

Then it's class tonight.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Enjoy Family History Month this month!

(I found a list of 50 fun 5 minute things to do

with the family for family history month,

so I'm posting one each day on our ward

RS facebook page.)

Today was create a Family Search account

and do 4 generations starting with yourself.
