JC has recommended I rename this blog to the Absent Iowa Urban Gardener. To be honest, I think he might be onto something.
In the last month or so, I have somehow acquired additional responsibilities leaving me nil to none garden time. My soil-free nails are growing back; I have absolutely no tan to speak of, even though the sun has been shining gloriously over the past several weeks; and, I have no new pictures to update the growth.
JC has been pulling up my slack and taking care of things in my absence. With his sun-kissed tan, JC reports the pepper plants are beginning to "birth" baby peppers (with this humidity as of late, I am not surprised), and he did bring me four yummy cherry tomatoes yesterday. JC does not eat them, but he definitely grows them and I reap the benefits!
