Today I played in the magic garden for almost two hours early in the morning, Then this afternoon I walked to the mailbox in 95 degree heat ! It's a six block walk and it felt great to be outside and feeling good. Tomorrow I'm going to start driving myself places and Saturday I'm having two girlfriends over for dinner. Can't wait to cook for them with all the lovely things I have to share from the garden. I have a yellow Hungarian pepper plant and it's a revelation. It's a hot pepper like they use for goulashes and other spicy dishes, but it's mellower than a jalapeno and it's really nice with vegetable stews and curries. The photos are cucumber, watermelon, guords, and a giant sunflower. I bought the seeds for the sunflower three years ago when I was visiting family in Austin. I was saving the seeds from last year in my freezer to plant this year. Sadly when I was in the hospital and had someone clean the refrigerator they threw out my seeds. So much to my great surprise this one flower came grew out of a seed a bird left or from the compost, now I'll have lots of seeds for next year !!
