Garden Update 1

We've got a few new additions to the Cucina di Campo Chef's Garden. Just planted Jalapeno Peppers and another pepper, either Serano or Habanero. The plant tag said Serano, my intended choice, but upon transplanting to its new container I noticed the container tag said Habanero. We are all hoping for Seranos; many of our summer salsas contain this perfectly hot pepper. Habaneros have an excellent flavor, very fruity, but are almost too hot to use in our salsas.

Also planted Dill, another favorite herb. Excellent for the salmon recipe posted earlier, and should help deter the aphids and other flying insects the Marigolds can't keep up with.
