...it got below freezing last night for the first time this year...so I covered up the one pepper plant that still has a bunch of peppers on it...everything else is in the 'winter garden'...so it's pretty safe at these temperatures...
...but sadly this morning...he doesn't look like he's going to recover...
...so I plucked all of the peppers...even the tiny ones...
...it's the Corno del Toro pepper, also known as "Bull's Horn" pepper, a sweet Italian heirloom pepper that the Man planted back in May or June...we've had several peppers from it already...
...and then I picked a bunch of lettuce...which I do just about every single day...I try and count the leaves as I pick them as about 30 leaves makes two nice sized salads...
...so then it was time to hammer all of the last edging into place...
...and I managed to find three small cutoffs from the other rolls of edging to finish this short section by the gate...if you look closely you can see that it's three different pieces but from a distance it doesn't look too bad...
...the long piece just barely turned the corner which made for a nicer transition...
...meanwhile...the Man worked on installing the new security floodlights...
...and I got out the leftover bits from the edging that we used to have along the driveway...
...to make little separators between the different 'sections' of edging...here between the pepples along the driveway and the mulch around the Okinawan Hibiscus...
...between the garden section and the flower section in the corner...this section is used for flowers and mulched because it's where the power enters the property and the power company might need access to it...so all you have to do is push away the mulch and there's a green plastic box under there...the garden angel sits on top of it...
...and then another small separator between that mulched section (there's purple coneflower planted there...wilted now of course but it will come back in the spring) and the newly tilled and edged garden section...still empty...
...and the last little separator between the newly tilled section and the existing corner gardenia bed...
...oh wait...there is one teensy tinsy one between the other hibiscus and the winter garden...just because the post isn't right up against the driveway...
...a big military plane kept flying overhead in circles...
...and the Man continued working on the floodlights...I'll have to show you them in action after dark...
...next I got out my discounted mulch...and this was the only opening in the bag...definitely a good deal for me...
...the corner gardenia beds freshly mulched...now all of the mulching is done for this year...YAY!
...and I spread out all of the discounted topsoil on the new garden bed...
...and we went inside to Christmas-ize the house...
~Have a lovely weekend!
This all looks so nice, neat and professional! Love, K
