Peppers and Lizards!




Mother Nature never ceases to amaze me.


My 6 pepper plants have loads of blossoms and yet I usually only get 1 pepper per plant! And even then I never know where they will show up or if I will spot them. Look at the top right photo--can you see the pepper right away or did you have to look again? I looked at that plant a few times before I saw the large pepper growing and, yet, I spotted the one in the photo on the top left immediately. Now I am checking the other 4 plants every day!


Then there are the lizards! It is impossible to walk anywhere around the acres of Gateway Terrace without seeing lizards in front or back or on either side of you. They will let you get just close enough for them to scatter away from you. Is it because they can't see you until you are close or are they playing a game with you?


At first I couldn't tell one from another but now I see they have different markings whether it be their tale or the color of their bodies. I have even named a few but they ignore me!

Peppers aren't as hard to find as zucchini. You can be looking at it and not see it (apparently much like peppers). I have taken to gently lifting the vine and checking the weight. A 2-foot zucchini isn't good for much too late in the season.

I didn't read it too closely the first time, and thought you were naming green peppers and they ignored you.
