Sequel to the pepper poppers.

I had to make planters for those extra plants, I had no money to buy planters, no dirt, and no space in my garden for them. I did though have left over chicken wire, folded and kept dog food bags, compost, leaves, and the highly disliked hay I bought for my rabbit. I molded the chicken wire into a bed frame, using pliers I took the cut ends of the individual triangles, and wrapped them together so the bed maintained it's shape. Dog food bags have a strong weave, that makes them good for lining planters with even when you put small holes in them for water drainage they don't leak soil. I flipped them white side out and stapled three bags to the frame. Then slid the tip of a knife between the weave to make small drainage holes along the whole planter. Then the compost, leaves, and hay was evenly mixed and poured into the beds. Finally, my peppers were placed into their new back aching home. Yippee for creativity, and internet ideas.

Peppers, peppers, peppers, peppers, peppers, peppers, peppers, tomatoes.

There is a reason I annoyed even myself with that title. I hate peppers but decided to see if I could get some to grow from seed for my mother and step-father. Hours of peeling, drying and dabbing later, I have  hundreds of round things in a blank seed packet, well that was late fall which in New Hampshire, means the seeds got stored for months. At the end of that time on Memorial day I opened all my seed packets and  some of the peppers had already started roots, and others had molded, opps really should have left them out to dry but my family tosses everything to do with my garden wherever is most convenient for them including the trash. Anyway I took the plants that had already started to grow and put the seeds in a five gallon bucket, at the end of July there was still no plants, so I bought a mostly grown plant. Two days later I have six extra pepper plants in my bucket, and I DON'T EVEN LIKE PEPPERS! Why couldn't I have six extra tomatoes?
