April Showers
Tobacco blossoms
Volunteers that popped up late summer 2017, slow growth over winter, so leaves are small & plants are short — during summer they’ll get 5 ft tall even outside. We’ve also had plants overwinter outdoors. Tough guys! I need to learn more about how these plants affect bees that visit; nicotinoids are very toxic to them. (BTW, those are shallots in the background, not weeds, but plenty of cleanup is overdue!)
Whats For Lunch? Bandon Life
How about a tortilla chip and a drip of hot sauce? After A wee kitchen project on Martin Luther King Day in Bandon… What I’m having.
Glaedengarden season’s end filtered serrano pepper sauce.

One of these will go and become our “Pastor’s Personal Pepper Preparation” sauce.
