a mildly green thumb

i've done it!  i've harvested TWO banana peppers!  i prepared them with diced tomatoes, coarse ground mustard, a little red wine vinegar and some sweet Vidalia onion as a relish for a very delicious chicken, spinach and feta sausage dog that was accompanied by a warm potato salad.  We enjoyed this meal a few days ago for lunch.  i love it when i get to cook any meal, especially lunch, for Jeff.  He likes it when i have food on the table, or stove as it were, when he has been cutting the grass.  He claims it makes him feel like a farmer.  Cute.  
He has a way to go before he's a farmer.  But the yard certainly does look good.
In addition to the banana peppers there are a few jalapenos waiting to be plucked.  They are beautiful!  Next year i'm going to try out the tomatoes and maybe even some squash.  Watch out Harmony Crossing Farmer's Market.  A fool i may be, but Cristen was right.  i CAN grow a pepper!
