Our Newest Garden Additions

I briefly mentioned in a previous post that we added a chili pepper tree to our collection. We have been wanting to grow some in our garden for a while now but haven't found the right type of seeds for the type of peppers we wanted. While we were up in the mountains yesterday we found a few different pepper plants and took the plunge taking them home with us. We got one large tree and then 2 small pepper plants with larger peppers on it. We've put the tree along the side of the house for now and planted the smaller plants next to our green pepper plants (which are thriving!).

Our cucumbers and pumpkins are also coming along with buds and our lettuce is getting big enough to actually think about putting in a salad. It's very exciting to see them grow and try different types of seeds. We just had radish's and melon's planted but I have yet to see anything sprouting from the melon's. I think that my next project is going to be pineapples!
