I think we are about to be neck deep in bell peppers.  We had some issues with our pepper plants at the beginning of this season, so we grabbed a few plants (at a cut-rate) at a local nursery.  Well… those pepper plants have 2-3 (some have 4-5) bell peppers already set… and we are thinking…

WHY DID WE NEED THIS MANY BELL PEPPERS AGAIN?

We have an addiction… seriously.  Oh well.  Check these pics of our lil bell pepper butts (yeah… we call them that)…

How awesome is that?  Very.  We love bell peppers, we use them in fajitas, pepper steak… we are about to stuff some and see how that is…

What do you use bell peppers for?

If you have any tips, recipes or anything… please share.  We are going to need to figure out how to use all of these.  Of course we will lend some to our friends & family – but help us use our bell peppers!

Our first time participating in the Garden Blogger Bloom Day (GBBD).  So bear with us… we have got some nice blooms we wanted to share – so what better way to do it!

Lets get on with it…

Everyone’s favorite thing to see, besides a tomato itself.  The blooms. 

Mexican Fire (Anisacanthus quadrifidus) – in bloom.  So awesome.

Can’t remember the make & model of this Lantana – but one of the ones we bought this year was Carlos Lantana.  We had to buy it.

This is a new addition, its in a hanging basket – a Blue Daze Evolvulus in full bloom.

Our huge Oleander is in bloom.  Very bright and it contrasts so much against its green foliage.

We picked up some Vincas to help add some color to the garden. They do just that.

So there you have it… all the blooms we have to offer.  Thanks for stopping by and hope to see your blooms.  Wait… that sounded dirty.  You know what we mean.

Thought we would share this tip with folks growing strawberries this year – will realize that the longer your strawberries are laying on the ground… the more likely they are to get eaten by insects or damaged from laying on the ground itself.  Well a quick tip, and easy solution is to lay a sheet of newspaper under your strawberries so they aren’t laying directly on the soil.

Do you have any tips you want to share.  Strawberry tips or just tips in general.  Email us your tip and we will include it on Double Danger giving you credit!  Or just share your tip in the comments.
