Pepper, anyone?

Tonight I pulled out the pepper plants while Eric continued working on the constructing the fence. Let's just say that if we would've left the pepper plants in place, we would've had even more peppers than we have now...and that's hard to believe!

For those of you who are counting, that's 60+ peppers. Oh. My. God.

Perhaps you're wondering how much that many peppers might weigh? Well it's your lucky day!

Can you see it? That's what 17.0 pounds of peppers (7.7 kg) looks like.

We also had a whole boatload of tomatoes to bring in (a shirtload really, because the basket was already full of peppers)!

Yeah. That's 27 tomatoes right there.

Here's what the pepper bed looked like before...and after:

And perhaps most importantly, here's the progress Eric has made on the fence. The first panel he completed perfectly blocks the light coming from our neighbor's back door when we're sitting in the hot tub!

 Excavation for the pool will likely start on Saturday - holy cow!
