Name That Pepper

When I went on my mission of collecting plants and flowers to put in my garden this year, I picked up this lovely plant that was listed as a vegetable at my local Ace Hardware store. I asked the friendly Ace Hardware man what kind of vegetable it was and he said “It’s a pepper plant”


“What kind of pepper plant?” I asked
He did not know.

Although he was still very helpful.

My mystery pepper plant has budded some peppers…

That are PURPLE!



What kind of peppers could they be?


Any Ideas?

Geranium!

With the threat of our first freeze looming around the corner I decided to bring my geranium in for the winter.

I remember last winter when my grandmother passed away in December, in her basement we found her geraniums, they were the same three she had since I can remember. She brought them into her basement in the winter, they would shrivel up, and come spring they would pop back to life on her porch.

This year for Mothers day my step-mother gave me a gorgeous red geranium that flourished in my huge pot on my patio.

Here is the ‘before’ picture…



Come back next Spring for the after…I am sure it won’t be as pretty…I just hope I can keep it alive.
