today in the salsa garden

The Damsel has a fun post in the works, but because it needs to ripen overnight, she’ll take you on a little tour of her garden instead.

But get ready because tomorrow…yeah, tomorrow.

It’s been a bit nuts around the cottage, because #4′s doing this:

IMG_3078Whew! Now. Then. The salsa garden has everything the Damsel needs for her homemade salsa, except garlic. She was too tired to grow garlic this year. See above picture.

Three kinds of peppers: green bell, yellow banana, and jalapeno.

    If I could figure out my deer problem, I would be growing cilantro (and mint) too! I loved your post the other day on our blog! Thanks!

    What have you tried with the deer? The soap hanging from the trees and stuff?

    I wonder about mint…hmmm…

    I could not survive without CILANTRO! Maybe we need a facebook fan page for it.
