The Sleepyhouse Garden 8/9/11

This is what I picked today from our garden. I need a bigger basket. The tomatoes are sitting in my new pottery bowl specially designed to drain your produce after you wash it.

Can you find the Habernero on the Swiss Chard? DS15 decided he wanted to pop it into his mouth and chew it up. (He of course, filmed the experience.) I tried to warn him how intense it would be. He bit the pepper in half and chewed it up in his mouth and swallowed!! DS12 and & I watched in amazement.

I almost thought I was going to have to dial 911. He drank large quantities of chocolate milk, tried a piece of bread and ice chips before deciding to eat an ice cream bar. I guess some lessons in life, you have to experience yourself.

I'm so envious. The garden bounty looks delicious! LOL at the pepper experience! My dad loved hot peppers and grew several varieties in our garden. We (kids) could make an extra 50 cents to spend if we would eat a hot pepper.... I love them today, and even have habaernero pepper (powdered) in a shaker on the table!! Hot, hot, hot!! Milk works best to put out the fire.

Looks like your garden is doing good. Ds is brave to eat one of those, though I had an Uncle who was from Puerto Rico and he ate everything hot including habanero peppers.
