So I go to the local in town nursery because I need more potting mix. Bought any seeds that I might have forgotten to order at Baker Creek Seeds the other day. I have Fordhook Swiss Chard, Parsely, Cilantro, and Dill. I was just there two days ago but today they had an entire new selection of plants in. I guess in time for the big Holiday weekend.

Anyway. They had all sorts of new peppers in and heavy on the hot peppers. But I found and bought a Sweet Banana Yellow Pepper. Don't like the hot peppers.

Then I have not had tomatillos in years. But they had tomatillo plants so I bought one. Tomatillos add the best flavor to salsa. I used to do salsa with tomatillos years ago.

And best of all I got two new eggplants. I have CLASSIC already but they had plants of ICHIBAN and GRETAL. Gretal is a white eggplant Iciban is a long fruited asian variety.

I have to find room in ground somewhere for the tomatillo and the pepper. The two eggplants will go in contains like the other eggplants.
