Nutty

I hand picked some almonds this morning, and tried shaking some higher ones off the tree, but all that came down were leaves. It could be as they get riper, they will shake off easier. My chili pepper plant has lots of large green peppers on it. I found the plastic tag that came with the plant and it promises small red peppers, and instead, I have large green peppers. Go figure.

I cooked my first eggplant for dinner. It was a little small but tasted great. I'm going to pick them regularly now, as supposedly, that stimulates higher fruit production. It's the same thing with the green beans. I methodically swept through all the bean bushes and ended up with about a pound of beans and cooked them with tomatoes. By the calendar, I planted the green beans a little late, but they're been producing like champs.
