My sunflowers at Kaiser!

One of my "projects" Yesterday was picking up my pain meds at Kaiser in Martinez. My illegal sunflowers there are almost five feel tall, but they still have not thrown flowers. They should be big ones once they occur. The snow peas there are looking good. There are four or five plants in three different planters. I am evil. I notice that they have a drip irrigation system going there. Ideal for an illegal planter (moi) in California. My balcony tomato plant is taking over. like the pudding in Woody Allen's Sleeper. Do you remember that scene? I cant even remember if I planted cherry or Roma. Did you enjoy any silly (or slightly devious) pleasures yesterday?

I hate this rain, but at least my cilantro and my dill are growing well. The hot pepper plants that I moved from the garden to the balcony are producing peppers now.

How hot are the pepper? I like peppers in my food. But I buy them at the grocer store.

@TheHorse - You never know how hot they are, on the same plant some are mild and some very hot. We stuff them with tuna mixed to capers and mayo, very good.

@LadyDuck Sounds good! And interesting. I start thinking "statistically." Put em all together and chop 'em up! Then you get "the average." Or...live dangerously!

I love that you put seeds out without being asked or invited to.

@TheHorse Why are they illegal? Are they only sunflowers?

@akalinus I have been joking for years here about being arrested for "illegal planting."

That they are! We had temps in the 40s last night. I hope these "big boys" bloom before more serious cold sets in.

Looks like a very powerful plant, With everyone in different parts of the world on here I keep getting confused as to when winter is coming and who is having spring, It will get more confusing for a while when we change the clocks on Nov 3 SIGH

You are the Johnny Appleseed of California. I don't remember that scene. Not sure I saw the movie. No devious pleasures here. Have a good day.

If you want a couple of minutes of silly '70s humor, let me know. It's easy to find.

It's a joke. Nobody authorized me to plant them. I like planting things in random places.

I guess they are none the wiser..Sounds like someone is invested in caring for them though.

As I mentioned, it appears there is a drip irrigation system out there.

I think you had a great time there. Aside from laundry an cleaning nothing much happened because of the typhoon we were stuck at home.

My single tomato plant is a Roma. It's looking good so far.
