Visit from a Master Gardener

Our yard was visited by a Master Gardener the other day. I am taking a class once a month on year-round gardening here in the Pacific Northwest (I posted a link in the resources section if anyone is interested), and the instructor is an OSU Master Gardener. He volunteered to come see how I was doing in the garden, so I gave him a tour of things with D on my hip.

The good news is that he said my plants for the most part look great. The bad news is, yes, we have a difficult plot to garden in considering the overhanging trees to the south and the aggressive turf.

Also, apparently, I was growing two weeds that I thought were bell peppers. I said, "And those peppers over there are doing GREAT!" He said, "Which ones?" and when I pointed again, he said, "I hate to break it to you, but those aren't peppers, those are weeds." So sad, so embarrassing.

Guess I might not be a Master Gardener. I'm going to try, though. Someday!
