Marigolds

This morning it was a nice fall day. The temperature started out in the 60's and warmed up in the mid-80's. I removed four of my blueberry plants from the wine barrel containers to a spot in the ground. I had too much peat moss in the container and the roots start to strangle each other. Two of my plants of out six had died. After planting, I also fertilized them with used Starbucks coffee grounds, blueberry plants like acidity.
I dumped out one of my huge compost bin on the ground. I use a place with hard, near cement, like ground into which the worms can't escape. I have too many worms so if I lost some it wouldn't matter. All the compost bins are nearly full. I needed space to pull my marigold plants. These plants are planted to deter pest for the tomato plants. They smell very strong, definitely not one of my favorite smells, but they help to deter pests. Marigolds grow into all sort of different shape flowers.

I like the more open type flower type here in butter yellow

I also know what to do with the hot peppers. I made lamb Korma, a very spicy dish, dahl with malabar spinach, served with brown basmati rice. It was delicious, especially when washed down with beer.
