My second week on strike from work. But the paychecks have finally come so it’s back to work tomorrow! I did love staying home all day these past two weeks working on my blog, resin-ing and hanging out with the cats, but, I am happy to go back to attempting to make some money.
The pumpkin madness continues…
I found the reason behind my tomato plants being demolished in nearly a day! I set these guys on the ivy covered fence that we hate. Lets see if they like ivy as much as they like tomato….
I hated bananas most of my life, but I’ve grown to sort of like them in the past year. Recently it dawned on me that I could now eat a banana split. So here it is! My very first banana split!
My vegetable garden gave me a lot of peppers, so I picked some banana peppers and then made some sweet spicy chili sauce with my hot peppers. I hope they taste alright! I’ve never made anything like these before.
On Tuesday I woke up to a rash. A rash that grew and grew, eventually into the bleeding, oozing, itching monstrosity it is today. I knew it must have been from some poison plant. But how? I’ve barely been outside! Finally I found the evil culprit lurking in my vegetable garden, poison oak! I must have brushed up against it when I went to pull my squash vine out.. It’s definitely the worst case I’ve ever had.
Those are the biggest caterpillars I've ever seen! It really becoming candle season, I can't resist running over and smelling all of the autumn varieties when I'm in a shop. We don't really get much pumpkin stuff over here which is a shame, we only recently got pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks (which I still need to try). I hope your rash gets better, that sounds awfully painful!
The size of those caterpillars is ridiculous! Never seen anything like it! …Your rash sounds awful 🙁 I hope it heals quickly. And you should pickle some of those peppers…. that's my favorite!
Huge caterpillars, but not as big as that beautiful banana split!! 🙂 Hope your rash gets better soon!
Wow you got quite the collection of caterpillars they are huge! Hope the rash clears up soon.
I am really enjoying see what you do with all your garden things! The sweet chilli sauce sounds tasty!
Love the photos but sorry about the strife at work & the outbreak. Glad everything has healed & your job situation has changed.
