In Southern California, we’re currently under a Mandatory Water Conservation program that restricts watering of landscapes to Monday and Thursday, before 9:00am and after 4:00pm. Well, I forgot to water the garden yesterday!!! Yikes!
Must wait til Thursday!
If the weather is still as cool as it was, I wouldn’t be so worried, but this week, things are warming up. I’m worried about the tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, zucchini, and brugmansia. They’re most vulnerable to drought, otherwise the rest should be just fine. They’re also my coveted crop plants, so I’m uneasy—and kicking myself.
Last night, I was so excited to try a new recipe for a Spicy Indian dry-curry, that watering the garden completely slipped my mind. I got carried away, deveining most of many serrano peppers and the aroma of the curry spices were intoxicating. Wow, it was potent! And SO tasty…. I was completely taken away.
