Neighbours talking over the garden gate has long been a tradition. They share gardening tips, complain about the weather and pests yet are ever eager to discuss their gardens. That is what I had in mind when creating this blog. So stop by my garden gate to find out the latest happenings in my garden.

Happy Gardening!

California Wonder Peppers

I am more than pleased with the performance of the California Wonder sweet peppers!  This is an heirloom variety of sweet peppers.  Most will be familiar with California Wonder sweet peppers as it is the most common variety sold in grocery stores.  So why am I excited?  In the past I have had major bad luck growing sweet peppers other than sweet banana peppers (another heirloom variety) and hot peppers.  I don't know what the problem has been but any sweet bell pepper I've grown has got about the size of a small orange and that's it.  The California Wonder sweet peppers are already larger than that so this is rather exciting!  I can't wait until they are ready to pick and you can be sure I will be saving seeds from this great performer!

Happy Gardening!
