"first harvest" or "the 'jappy' jalapeno"








A little jalapeno seed grew into a plant.

Jauntily perched upon a stem that was not scant

was the first little pepper! O raise the happy chant!



One day the girl came skipping by,
and what do you think did she spy,
but the 'jappy' jalapeno begging to be picked,
so she bent down and plucked it from its sturdy stick.

Joyfully she grasped the treasure that she bore,
and took it home, the first offering, from the garden galore.
Carefully she chopped it up for some homemade salsa.
It's really, really yummy. Do you think you'd want some?


And so ends the tale of the 'jappy' jalapeno,
Who found a paradise of glee lying next to a tomato.

Stay tuned for the debut of the Trumpeting Tomato!

Hey Jeanette!Of course I remember you! I have a great memory. thanks for your post, encourageing words! I must say, I'm impressed with your gardening skills. I'm sad that the Perks moved away bc I was going to take advantage of Lynns gardening abilities this summer! But I have way too many rodents and rabbits (are rabbits rodents? Mine are).

Good to hear from you! :)
I consider rabbits rodents. Thankfully, gardening in the city cuts down on pests. Sometimes rats are a problem, but there's a couple of wild cats who live underneath the house, so they're not a problem for us. Thank goodness!
