“She was so Southern that she cried tears that came straight from the Mississippi, and she always smelled faintly of cottonwood and peaches.” ― Sarah Addison Allen, Garden Spells

  
Just look what was waiting for me this morning—the very first super-uber hot pepper of the season. You see, last year’s crop didn’t do quite so well…so, I have been experimenting with hydro-gardening. 

This year, my beautiful plants have been dangling their roots in a nutrient rich water—which they seem to much rather prefer than being stuck in the cold dirt all day. 

I tried to explain once that this dirt was spectacular, but they would have nothing to do with this, at all.

I guess, this is just my luck for growing “Southern-Belle” Peppers….you know, there’s really no pleasing them, after all.

Namaste, my most beautiful friends ~ may the blessings of this earth find you smiling this day!
