Garden

We started a vegetable garden.

I have to say "we" because two of my friends helped me build it. (They are awesome, btw.) The soil where I live is toxic to plants (excluding mutant ginger plants that threaten to take over my yard), so we made an above-ground planter for the veggies.



Not an example of a mutant Ginger.



It hasn't been that easy. My peppers have been struggling. I think they caught a bacterial infection or something. I had bell peppers, jalapenos and Costa Rican sweet peppers. Every single one is experiencing the same struggle: wilting leaves, brown spots, limp or curling leaves. I tried some of the "green" pesticides, but no luck so far.



Poor peppers.



Fortunately, the rest of the garden is coming along quite well!

Also, a baby pineapple:

On another topic: A summer song. No idea if this is the official video, but it made me laugh anyway. I need to find some good music for a playlist or two to listen to on my summer vacation.
