Had a day off today from Control because the Hong Kong observatory said it was going to rain. It didn't. Not only that it was a beautiful sunny clear day. The HK observatory is about as reliable as a vintage Italian sports car. Normally as an actor I relish a day off like this but this time as a producer I can't help feel that we wasted a day. So what did I do? I worked on my garden. The basil plants had their run. After about 5 good harvestings, the plants no longer had any flavor so I took them out and replanted new seed. I was also able to harvest the chili peppers today. Tons of them! This picture shows about half of what I collected. I planted the chilies next to some non-spicy green peppers and something funny happened. The chilies cross pollinated with the peppers and now the peppers have turned into big red chilies. My garden turned into a botany experiment! I'll have to separate them next time. After harvesting the chilies I decided to dry some for later, make chili olive oil and finally a nice fresh salsa, perfect for a sunny day like today. | 《控城計》的拍攝中斷了一天給大家放假,因為香港氣象臺預報今天會下雨。結果沒下。而且還是一個艷陽高照的大晴天。香港氣象臺平常可幾乎是跟意大利古董跑車一樣牢靠的。作為一個演員的話,對於這樣的放假我通常會很受用的。但這一回作為制片人,我忍不住會惋惜我們浪費了一天。那麽今天我做了什麽呢?我拾掇了菜園。九層塔有其生命周期。大約豐收了五茬之後,再長出來的就沒什麽味道了。於是我把它們拔掉,重新播了種。今天我還收割了紅辣椒。超多的!這張照片呈現的大概只有今天收獲量的一半。這些紅辣椒我是挨著一些不辣的青椒種的,結果有趣的是紅辣椒跟青椒交叉授粉了,長出了些大個兒的紅辣椒。我的菜園變成植物試驗田了!下回我可得把它們分開點兒種。摘了這麽多辣椒,我決定留一些曬幹了以後用;還有一些做成辣椒橄欖油;其余的制成了新鮮的莎莎醬。完美的一個艷陽天。
