My Uncle's Garden

Let me take you through my uncle's garden of love...the hanging red chili marks the homecoming of Fall...
The old cherry tree died off so my uncle used it to grow this veggie
The black fruit is saved and dried out for the seeds to grow next summer.
Summer is my uncle's only chance to garden... These "christmas lightesque" Chilis are very sweet and not at all spicy.
Soon all of these will die... but for now, the entire plant from the leaves to the fruits and seeds are used
My uncle gathers all the leaves from his chili plants and makes a wonderful fresh soup
More species of chili...
 This is my uncle standing tall and proud..
plenty to eat...



There should really be a sign that says "Dogs be aware" on this because this is the very herb/ vine  that is eaten with the infamous dog meat. Of course, we don't do that here... plenty to eat!
