The first one from the bridge, the sixth with the barns, and eighth (view from Mt. Tom), and maybe even the last one with the low clouds.

I guess the landscape/sky kind of reminds me of what I saw two weeks ago. The rocks/vegetation are a bit different.

I'm also growing some stuff in the garden, but we haven't got a farm layout like you just yet. Some real monster potato plants are taking over

My chilli peppers aren't doing as well as yours because I was dumb enough to put them out in April when we still have frosts

What type of potatoes?

Yeah pepper plants usually like a good amount of heat. Most of my peppers typically do well during mid-summer although some milder ones don't seem produce much when it's very hot.

Not sure, I'll take some pictures tomorrow.

They're certainly not the hardiest of plants,the very mention of frost causes them to wither and die. We don't get the relaible warmth that you do, so the yield won't be as good but the heat's definitely there.

I don't bother with peppers until early summer -one planted then, will outperform one planted in mid spring.

Yep, I've learned my lesson. My garden was like a pepper holocaust 2 months ago.
