Pepper Bell - California Wonder
The Pepper Bell California Wonder, 'Capsicum' is an excellent stuffing pepper. California Wonder is sweet, flavorful, and commonly grown in short climates. The California Wonder is good for stuffing and is also tasty enough for salads. They are excellent for cold climates and in longer season climates the peppers will turn bright red after green. The California Wonder Bell Pepper has more vitamin C than an orange. The peppers are 4. 5 inches long x 4 inches wide and have thick flesh. Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. Pinch off early flowers to encourage plant growth. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Blossom pruning will improve fruit size. Pinch off about 50% of the flowers. ... additional info
Grass - Blue Eyed The tufts of narrow, upright bluish-green leaves lend a casual air to the flower bed or rock garden. They resemble an ornamental grass until constellations of bluish-purple star shaped flowers appear for several weeks in the spring. Blue Eyed Grass prefers well drained sandy soils. Plant them in full sun to light shade. They are somewhat drought tolerant but they like evenly moist soil. Plant in the early spring, 2 to 4 weeks before the last average frost date or late summer/early fall.
