I'm really wondering why I didn't plant tomatoes. My first jalapeno has been plucked and I'm in the mood for a good homemade salsa. I wasn't sure how to tell when the jalapeno was ready to be picked. I basically waited until it appeared to slow down in growth. I also don't know about the growing cycle of jalapenos....does the hotness of the pepper depend on how long it ripens?
After picking the first jalapeno, I noticed his cute little cousin hanging on the opposite side of the bush. It was so cute that I had to take a closer look. I put my finger under it and lightly lifted it up. And snap! It fell right off. Oops. Guilt.
Now I've got to find the perfect salsa recipe.

I'm not so sure I have a green thumb yet. Maybe pale yellow. You should see the dead cactus in my office.
Yes...I managed to kill a cactus. Sad sad sad.
Hey, I've killed many a cactus. It's easier than people think!! :)
