Something Is Rotten

We had high hopes for our English garden but time and shite weather wore us down.

The horseradish plant was gigantic and we expected to find one big root like a human leg underneath it. Instead we found some skinny toes. Nevertheless, it has some kick and has found good use.

The tomatoes are all but a complete loss. Whilst I was away in Oregon, the plants attacked each other in a smothering war. By the time we broke it up, rot had set in and the weather went to hell. We might get one or two but almost all have went very funky. The eggplant and peppers we had near the tomatoes appear to be following a similar course and have started to go bad.

The potted Dwarf Apache (is that doubly offensive?) pepper plant has been a surprise. It has produced a very bright and red selection of peppers that vary from tame and tangy to some that are sure to provide a solid case of the ol' HH. Trust me on this.

Another surprise has been the zucchini (courgette over here) and pumpkin plant. One of each plant has grown to impressive size and we have more zucchini than we know what to do with. The pumpkins are still green babies but doing fine.

We recently found out we have what we think is a yucca plant growing in the yard. This was one of our least favorite plants: it has leaves like spears that destroy Boo's balls on a regular basis and can do some damage if you get too close. That was until it has popped out what appear to be some impressive flowers waiting to do their thing.

So, any way, I mentioned my Dwarf Apache peppers up top and I just can't think the word 'Apache' without having to watch a Tommy Seebach video. You never know where a blog is going to end up. If you have never seen the original, you should find it and watch it in full. Here it is folks: Tommy Seebach's Apache attacked by Disturbed. This is what happens when you drink and blog.
