This bud's for you!

 EAT YOUR VEGETABLES: Maryann James posts on vegetable gardening every Tuesday.

hot pepper plant buds

 

Remember when I said I had no buds? Well, the balcony garden is finally blossoming. The hot peppers (above) are blooming all over the place -- despite what Rodale's warned about already blooming plants -- and the cucumber blooms (left) are looking a little fragile but determined to hold on. My sunflowers (below), a dwarf variety great for containers, have brightened up the balcony.

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
