Been watching the Twin Peaks series on DVD and falling into the David Lynch universe. Take a whiff of those Douglas Firs!

Patio garden adventures

I was amused to see them grow unexpectedly in my plant pot.

Over the course of a few weeks, a baby bell pepper rapidly grows and transforms into a bright shade of red. From white petals to green baby to red adult, it ripens on the vine and grows to the size of my fist.
