#Hot Peppers

[allthingssoulful-garden]

The pepper situation this year is as follows: the sweet peppers were supposed to be kapia and ruffled pimento, instead they're a yellow romanian stuffer variety (all several dozens of them) and while the hot peppers I bought last year weren't hot at all, these ones are so hot you can barely eat them.

There's always a risk when you buy your plants from farmers market, I guess I was just lucky until now, as this is the first time I got any wrong varieties. It happens. I didn't have time to sow any of my own peppers, so all of them are bought. I am a little sad as we don't really eat or like the yellow ones that much. And I miss my kapia peppers. Those are my favorite. Don't really care about the hot ones, I just thought it was funny.

Cucumbers and peppers starting to pop off!!! Got some green onions planted as well. Parsley and other herbs are also doing really well!

I also managed to get a dragon fruit seeds to sprout!! Hopefully a couple others do too

Never been happier! I have so many peppers growing on my plants right now I am so amazed and can't wait until they are ripe!!

So many Thai chilis, habaneros, and real deal peppers +a jalapeño and a couple mystery peppers. Google says they are habaneros but I haven't bought any new habanero seeds and they look completely different from my other habaneros. Still super exciting!!!

Garden "fails"

So I was watching my purple echinacea sprout these green flowers and though, "Huh, that's an abomination, but I like it".

Turns out it is DISEASED. So I pulled the plants that I could see were affected. I'm not really concerned about losing the echinacea as it's easily replaced if lost. It was hella established though, so it would be somewhat of a shame.

Next, my hydrangea is doing what it always do. No matter where I plant it, how I baby it, what spells I cast. Nothing. They always die this slow death.

I sowed some rosemary and sage and didn't label them, so they accidentally ended up in the flower garden. This is all the progress they've made since May.

These petunias have sucked the entire time.

I don't know what this is.

But I was delighted to find some ripened Thai dragon peppers!

I love my garden despite it's (and my) shortcomings.

5/4/24 ~ peppers I’ve transplanted update 🌱🌶️

[gracelyngrausamkeit]

I got too eager. I should keep reminding myself that I shouldn’t try to do ambitious long-form drawings for Inktober. I was stoked about this one because I really like this scene but I am not so delighted with the results. This one should have been in a “manuscript” style but time pressed me, not allowing me to fully realize what I had in my head. I stressed a bit (ok, a lot) over it but decided to wrap it up, regardless of what I think about the end result. Soo, uhhh, yeah, flavor text: Inktober Day 12 – Spicy “The story says that the Treaty of Adelia was signed in the small border village of the same name (now a flourishing town). Seeking shelter from the rain, the prince of Rel’Sev and the tzar of Dos signed the important document in a poor peasant’s hut. Not having much else to offer the aristocratic gentlemen, the peasant, who produced hot peppers for a living, provided them with a plate stacked with the spiciest peppers around. The hot pepper has since become a national symbol of Rel’Sev”

Paintings for the 2024 Grumpy Bert/Harman Projects Red Envelope show celebrating the Year of the Dragon. Artists painted on the ubiquitous red envelopes that the Chinese fill with money and give out as a symbol of good luck and prosperity. "Yangban Dragon" is inspired by a nobleman portrait I saw at the National Gallery in Seoul. 3.5x6.5" acylic painting on red Chinese new year paper envelope. If you didn't know, Koreans also celebrate lunar new year. The gallery asked a few artists to also paint big 18x36" paintings, so I painted mine in acrylic on wood panel. Dragons are associated with agriculture and rain and the show has a red theme so it seemed natural to paint the Korean heirloom peppers I grow on our roof every year. Show runs from Feb 10-24th, 2024 https://www.harmanprojects.com/exhibitions/65-red-envelope-show-2024/
