The Garden: Last Carrots, Crazy Peppers, and more Melons

The biggest & the last carrots if the season. 5 pepper plants are still producing amazingly sweet Bells, and a brutally spicy Spanish Pepper hybrid!

Our 1st melon was harvested too early, we still ate it of course. 6 more have taken it's place. Like the song says... we'll be sure these rattle before lug them.
 
"Hey... Watermelon Man.
Bring me one that rattles when ya lug it One that's red & juicy when ya plug it Do you understand?
Watermelon Man."

Recorded: March 31, 2002 in my old apartment @ 85 West Walnut St., Asheville, NC

I came across this while cleaning up my library after the iTunes 9 upgrade this morning and felt like sharing. This was recorded using a yard sale, Sony passive electret condenser microphone direct to hard disk via Sound Forge using my L'Arrivee Parlor Guitar. The "quality" of my voice is likely due to a long night of cigarettes, PBR, & yelling in the Vincent's Ear courtyard in Asheville, NC the night before.

Credits: 
"I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love With You" was written and originally recorded by Tom Waits for the 1973 album Closing Time.
