Grad weekend

Two high school seniors and one junior high grad, and of course, the attendant parties all weekend long.  This girl is tired!  We are also in the start of one of our 3 or 4 day heat waves.

I did get in some gardening this weekend.  I harvested the garlic and it is beautiful.  The best heads yet.

My first cherry tomatoes "Sweet Olive" are just about ready to harvest!  The photo is a bit redder than the tomatoes.  They should be wonderful tomorrow, especially with this heat.






I am also very pleased with my peppers, Padrone and Topepo Rosso.
       Padron Pimientos de Padron are amazingly tasty, tiny fresh peppers originally from a medieval town in Galicia, northwest Spain. Fried and sprinkled with sea salt, they have a delicious flavor and most are mild. But every once in a while you will bit into a spicy pepper.
       Topepo Rosso This Italian heirloom produces tasty, blood red, round pimento-type peppers that are very sweet. The flesh is very thick and crisp. Short, compact plants produce huge yields; great fresh or cooked. A wonderful specialty variety that has many uses.



They have tiny peppers growing and lots of flowers. The first photo is the Padones and the second is the Topepo Rosso.
