Love Love Love your Videos! Your enthusiasm for your garden is awesme. I get excited about my garden too! It is my 1st year for gardening & yesterday I picked 3 bell pepper, 1 Jalapeno & several Radish. So exciting!!

@redberrychick43 I doesn't matter how long you've been gardening, it's just so exciting when you pick anything. Congratulations on your pickings. Was the Jalapeno hot?

[redberrychick43]

@clairesallotment That particular Jalapeno was not that hot but I eat lots of spicy foods. I am in Louisiana. But I have other plants & I picked another one from another plant & it was super hot! LOL Since then I have been picking quite a few eggplant & tomatoes & more bell pepper. I did a small video on it~check it out if you would like. Looking 4ward to seeing more videos of yours. Take care.

@redberrychick43 I just watched your video. Everything is growing beautifully. And what lovely blue sky, ours if cloudy today.

[redberrychick43]

@clairesallotment Thanks for watching my video. Yes skies here are mostly pretty but boy is it Hot & Humid! In the high 90's & humidty runs about 75-80% & that is without rain. We usually get a Thunderstorm every afternoon. It is Hurricane Season right now until Nov 30th.

@redberrychick43 Wow your weather is very aggressive. Thunder storms here are a bit hit and miss, as we're surrounded by hills they very rarely get in, and just go round. Every now and then we get a real hum dinger which is great. Occasionally we get an electric storm, which is great to watch. My parents get good storms where they are, they had a fantastic one last Summer. I hope you don't get a hurricane, we've only ever had one and that was in 1987 I think you'd class it as a level 1 or 2.

@ShushLorraine I hope the weather has improved for you now. We've had a little rain, but not enough to do any good. I'm still watering as frantically as ever. I'm just waiting for th usual hose pipe ban this summer, I'm sure it won't be far away.

@sadia102 It's always good to try something new. It's a bit of fun also.

Thanks for this Claire. I have never tried them.

@CearaQC Little buggers for all the destruction they've caused. Is there any way of stopping them? We've had a little rain, so that's ok. It's very humid at the moment. Maybe a storms a brewing.
