What to cook tonight

breakfast for supper. that's the way mom did it when i was young.

on Sunday night, it was eggs and pancakes.

i'm doing red beans in the crock pot. sundays are great for slow cookers!

then i'm going to pull some peppers out of my garden and stuff and wrap them; throw them on the grill. i shouldnt have planted so many..i'm going to be a fat arse by the end of the summer

Oh come on, bell peppers aren't fattening

they are when you cram them with cream cheese and wrap them in bacon

are you fertilizing regularly? i notice a huge change when i dont squirt them with miracle grow every week.

i water twice a day, always early morning and late afternoon. never water when the sun is beating down on the plant. i use those little squirt bottles of MG. it says to hook them to the hose but i just squirt around the plant and then water. when its concentrated like that its important not to get it on the plant; just the dirt. the plant will burn. i reckon you could get away with using it every 4 days, as long as you just put a few seconds worth of squirt on it.

i dont know what you mean about the chlorine. i guess we're spoiled in BR with our water. i just put the hose in the bed and soak the dirt. when you water a potted plant make sure it runs out the bottom of the plant, then stop. they LOVE LOVE LOVE sun. all day if you can.

My tomatoes are in pots and they are exposed to sun and rain. I've noticed that rain makes them grow more than hose water. I did some research and learned that allowing hose water to sit evaporates the chlorine which rain does not contain. It's worked really well on my flowers. But I'm just in my second year of growing tomatoes.

You might notice that your grass in the lawn reacts more with rainwater than with sprinkling. It's the chlorine difference.

Chicken Spaghetti!

Ribeyes

i did a caesar salad with homemade caesar dressing; put some grilled shrimp on top; served with fresh french bread.
