We've fallen into a nice summer routine with Brent and I spending our days at work/school, and then either going to the gym or just sort of hanging out. It's been pretty warm lately, so we haven't gotten out much in the evenings on weekdays. Since Dad and Taherah were here, we haven't done all that much fun stuff on the weekends. Oh but we did see Army of Darkness at the Boulder Outdoor Cinema, which was super fun. They set up a movie screen along the back of a building near Pearl Street, next to the creek and the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse. It was only $5, and we also got some very snazzy plastic rings!
My plants are doing well, except for my lettuce, but I'll be posting pictures and a story tomorrow about that, I hope. We also have some grad student friends coming over to grill for the 4th of July, so as long as I have time, I will also update about the great lettuce massacre that occurred this morning. But my bell pepper plant has flowers (!), 2 of them, and one of them has now fallen off, leaving a teeny tiny baby bell pepper behind. I am SO EXCITED. And our tomatillo plant is out of control! It has a bajillion tiny baby tomatillos on it, which will be very exciting for Brent and his salsa making later this summer. My cilantro and chives are also great, and the cilantro is so pungent. I have to pluck the flowers off of it pretty regularly, and the scent stays on my hands for a while afterwards. We even got to use some of it for cilantro-lime rice the other day and it was so strong!
Here are some week-old plant pictures. See, I was thinking about updating a week ago, but it just never happened somehow. Oh and I didn't resize these pictures, so if you click on them they will be huge.
So proud of my bell pepper!
See the flower?!
My mint that came back from the dead. Compared to earlier pictures, it's a giant. Grow mint, grow!
Tomatillo madness!

What a comeback for your plant. I'm so impressed.
