Color for the Haunted Garden
It has been awhile since I have posted. Life demanded a lot of my time dealing with family issues and I
have missed my hobbies I'm so fond of. One of them being a "Haunted
Garden" every year for Halloween. It's that time of year when the
seed catalogs arrive in the mailbox and I always find new plants I want to try.
The one below is a "Rainbow Chili Plant" and the
different colors the pepper make as they mature, are like eye candy. Mine
grew all summer and was so beautiful last fall I brought it in the house where
it survived up until November (it's not really an inside plant). This year I plan on planting a whole row!

Every year I try to add a couple of new varieties.
I have already discovered a plant I must try this year.
It is an "Ornamental Eggplant", Pumpkin on a Stick.

It looks
delightful and I can imagine it adding beautiful shades of green to yellow to
orange in my Haunted Garden this year. I imagine painting little faces on
the fruit for beautiful Autumn Bouquets! They could also be used as a fun
project with small children like my granddaughters who love to paint with me!
