Oh hey, guys! The Novice Gardener is back! Whoooo???? It’s me. I’m The Novice Gardener, aka Angie, aka Fiesta Friday. I’m just completely obsessed with the garden right now. So I might as well refer to myself by my old nickname.
Though I have to say I can easily go by The Frustrated Gardener at the moment. There’s a resident bunny family in my backyard and I think mommy bunny must have just had her second litter of the season, judging by the different sizes of kits I see running around.
They are cute but destructive! Pretty much decimated my eggplants. I had no idea bunnies would eat eggplant plants. There are many more casualties but the eggplants are the saddest ones because I actually started them from seeds early this year. Oh, well… no ratatouille…
Still, I take comfort knowing there are many other plants that thrive. Like the jalapeno.
It’s actually called Nadapeno, a jalapeno without heat!
And I also have… wait for it… not one, but two ripening figs!
A couple more are on the way, how exciting is that?!
These are small successes, but they fill me with so much happiness. So glad the bunnies don’t care for these plants, or maybe they have a hard time reaching them because they’re grown in tall pots. That should be the solution in the future since the bunnies are obviously here to stay.
Okie Dokie, Artichokie… let’s fiesta now!

Thank you for featuring my herb garden!
You’re welcome. It’s a great idea!
Bunnies are cute but not so if they are disturbing the garden! LOL. The figs are looking really good. In Italy during summer, we went around picking wild figs as we drive along and had a great time munching them.
Oh yes, those figs in Italy! My gosh, they seem to sprout everywhere, even thru a wall! How is that even possible, when I have such a hard time keeping them alive here. We didn’t pick any, though, darn 😄 Next time we go back there, I’ll make sure to sample some. Thanks for reminding me of a wonderful memory, Pauline ❤️
Thank you for hosting a GREAT party. I hope you’re having a WONDERFUL week. I brought my TEX MEX BACON CHEESEBURGER BAKE, CORN SALSA SALAD and JALAPENO HONEY STICK WINGS.
Yum! Everything sounds delicious!
I’m envying your chillies (ours are failing miserably this year)… But we too have some fabulous figs on the way. Enjoy! And thanks for hosting.
Oh… And thank you too for featuring my brownies xx
Figs are a little temperamental. So far I’ve killed 3 so my current figs are #4 and 5. I think I finally got them figured out, fingers crossed. Chilli peppers meanwhile seem to thrive without too much help. The brownies sound delectable, what with cherries and all.
