I spritzed and talked and loved these plants up all the way home… and then in Montana they had a spot in the sunroom for 4 days – a bit of natural light but not too much as they were in transition – and probably shock!<\/p>\nI KNOW better!<\/p>\n
Mea culpa to my step-Dad, Bill!<\/p>\n
Bill gave me Egyptian Onions, Pimento plant, Pepper Plant – from seed starts that I think he starts\u00a0in the dead of winter.\u00a0 I babied them from CO, \u00a0putting them in the shower before I rolled each morning and on the dash to have a bit of sun when I parked each night…<\/p>\n

\u00a0After 4 days I started putting them on the front porch – just a little bit at first and gradually more until they were on the front porch all of the time.<\/p>\n
Next step – transfer to pretty new pots.. nice roomy pots from my favorite nursery and they just looked beautiful – I’m SOOOOO sorry that I did not get a photo of them looking beautiful in their new pots…<\/p>\n
Because – today – Aug 1 – I left Karl and Bob in the house and was gone about 3 hours to gather groceries and other house stuff, plus pick up the motorhome and while I was gone – the\u00a0 @#$&%$!!!!\u00a0DEER had a small feast…<\/p>\n

BUT, I am not giving up – I was especially looking forward to making pimento cheese – SO, all the pots are now in the garden which has a deer-proof fence – where they should have been to begin with – I can NOT believe I was so STUPID!<\/p>\n
Ok, well, in the midst of deer distruction, fires-smoke, heat – several pieces of GOOD news.\u00a0 Sam, my folks cat, is doing VERY well, my motorhome’s hydraulics are fixed and it is home and stocked\/loaded in case we need it for a fire escape, AND temps are\u00a0cooler and kind of pleasant baring the smoke\/fire stuff.\u00a0 We are counting our blessings!<\/p>\n
To close – Bob, the cat – a “legend in his own mind”…photos especially for ORS friend 2oldman:<\/p>\n
