Garden Update

With the torrential downpours of May over, we have finalized our garden layout and have a current count of what made it. The majority survived, which I was very happy about. I also realize my pictures are not as good as they could be, but I have been taking them with my phone...as I can't find the batteries for my camera. Soon, though...soon. Heh.

So,  in the main garden we have:
15 green bean plants, 2 bell pepper plants, 4 habenero pepper plants (but I think 2 may not make it, it could go either way), 2 ghost pepper plants, 14 tomato plants (very healthy ones too), 8 jalapeno plants, 24 Brussels sprouts, 8 cabbage, 4 lettuce, 2 zucchini and 2 cucumber.

Randomly around the yard we have:
2 strawberry plants, and the sunflower plants (which seem to live through anything), Cilantro, Basil...and some other random things.

So here's some pictures to show off...

The tomato's...

Brussel sprouts, cabbage, cucumber and zucchini...

A McDonalds review....a good one, this time!

A McDonalds Review....that isn't bad. Wait...what?

Normally...I avoid McDonalds, especially the one nearest to where I live. I have been burned so many times by this place, I rarely expect anything more than microwaved food, incorrect orders and cold fries for increasingly high prices. 

Sooooo...one day...no food around and we decide to go to our local McD's and order something crappy for lunch, not expecting much more than the above. They have this new thing...."Signature Crafted Sandwiches". 

"Meh, ok" we say, and order two different kinds. He gets the Pico Guacamole Burger, on an artisan roll and I order the Maple bacon Dijon crispy chicken sandwich, also on an artisan roll. We get home...and he is first to try his burger, which he loved. But to be fair...he was hungry and would have been happy with most anything. 

My Maple Bacon crispy chicken sandwich ...shown below ...was amazing. Seriously. For a fast food place, the chicken was moist, yet cooked. The onions were grilled but not raw, the bacon actually had flavor and the Dijon added a nice little zip of flavor. 

This review has not been paid for... in fact, I paid full price for it. I am disappointed that McDonalds is raising prices on almost everything, but most fast food places are...meh. 

This, however....was yummmmmy. 

Garden Watch 2017....update.

Well...it took forever...but the garden is just about ready. We used mulch from a friend who simply shredded a tree for us.....and applied it lightly only around the plants themselves. 

Here is a head count as of now, after a bit of flooding did some damage. Some may or may not make it...we'll have to do another head count in a week or so to be sure. 

----

14 tomato plants (2 varieties)

2 ghost peppers

2 habenero 

2 more habenero that may not make it

2 green pepper

10 (or so) green bean plants

8 jalapeno ?

6 cabbage (I think)

4 lettuce

24 Brussels sprouts 

...and still to plant are the strawberries, zucchini and cucumbers.

What we lost for sure, the radishes. This was mostly my fault for not planting in time. :( 

The Garden...In the beginning....

*cue dramatic news-at-9 type music* ....Welcome to The SugarHigh Lounge's Garden Watch...2017....*bah bahhhhhh bammmm* ...

Heh. So...it began at the beginning of May. Today we finished putting up the fence to keep out any critters that think our veggies look tasty, and also our dog...and cat. So far we have planted green beans, jalapeno, tomatoes, green peppers and habenero peppers. 

Oh, there will be more. Hahaha.
