Geoff's Garden - a lurking cat and some strangeness.

Hello loyal readers.

For your enjoyment today, two pictures from my garden...

Firstly, my cat, lurking rather suspiciously :

Secondly, my chilli plant for the year, with the fruit growing upwards A new one on me, any ideas why - or seen it before?

Your cat looks like a Beatrix Potter cat! (My daughter says it looks like Mittens. I thought Tabitha Twitchet but I'm not the expert here.)

No help on the upside down peppers, I'm afraid. That is bizarre looking.

Chili plants that grow under a blue moon invert their seed pods. Scientists have been unable to determine why this happens, but it does seem to be a documented fact. June had a blue moon. All the local chili plants have inverted seed pods as well.

I was kidding, btw. I have no idea why your chilis are upside down. I did notice that the chilis used for landscaping decoration all have inverted seed pods, and I did wonder why, so I made up a little story...

Perhaps you've hit on the truth by accident. Or maybe I ought to ask my cat why she is looking so suspicious.

You made it sound good RC. I bought it.

Yeah, I was thinking "Strange, my bell peppers do not seem to be growing upside down. Maybe it's because they aren't chilis. Hmmmm . . . "

what i imagined that cat thinking while watching a geoff get all up in his business with a camera cracked me up.

let's just say the words, "any closer and i'll shove your precious chili straight up your... yeah, you better back the hell off" came to mind.
