Last Sunday, I squeezed in a trip to Babies R Us, and realized a few things to avoid annoying crying kids and their annoying whining parents:
Don't go to B-R-U on Sundays
Go early in the morning (as the store opens)
Go to a dedicated B-R-U not one that has both Babies and Toys-R-Us. I felt overwhelmed by the size of this store.
Anyway, the point of that store was to pick up items for the cupcake baby onesies.
On Sunday, I also re-purposed an empty Clorox wipes box as a grocery/trash bag dispenser. I had green flannel, scrap paper, a glue gun, and a pair of scissors. So simple! Instructions at http://tatertotsandjello.com/2011/07/summer-social-guest-project-make_21.html
The garden is surviving the cooler weather. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we will get about a dozen jalapeno peppers. This guy is looking big and happy, with plenty of flowers.
I'm also waiting on about 4 green peppers from this guy.
The greatest surprise has come from this guy. I wasn't a very good scientist (didn't label my seedling pots), and I didn't know what this plant was until it started to look like a pepper. I thought it was a jalapeno pepper plant, turns out it's another green pepper. It has a few peppers on it with more flowers.
The flowers are looking great too. I think that they are enjoying a reprieve from the atrocious heat. Marigolds and Petunias:
The balcony garden makes me so happy - might become the preferred eating and studying spot on the weekend.
