My version of gardening involves running around the yard with a pair of scissors, a gardening shear, and a hedge trimmer. I use these items randomly until I fill the compost bin with clippings or break a sweat, whichever comes first.
So after a month away from this chore, the yard has become like the forest of “Where the Wild Things Are.” In this case, I am the wild thing and have managed in the course of an hour to transform a bushy mess into a less bushy mess.
And what did I find? Behold, my peppers have turned red after a month in the southern summer sun!
