I'll try this on page 1 and see if I can get some help... :D

So, I haven't posted in this thread for quite a while, but I've come down with a problem involving my hot peppers. My habaneros started out pretty strong, but lately the top leaves have been very small, kind of curled, and a bit withered-looking. The color is relatively good, but this looks like the pepper-plant analog to Witch's Broom in roses. Never seen anything like it in peppers before.

‎For those who are interested, here is a copy of the update from Arrowhead's daughter forwarded to me from Kathy In Alaska, and a link to the thread - update at 565. 7‎/‎10‎/‎2015‎ ‎12‎:‎10‎:‎26‎ ‎PM · 565 of 576 Kathy in Alaska to afraidfortherepublic; exit82; SandRat; WhyisaTexasgirlinPA; Windflier; txhurl; Iron Munro; ... ARROWHEAD UPDATE from his daughter Lisa.... "Thanks for the message, it is appreciated as always... and for passing on the email from the other FReeper with the TBI! I wanted to wait to write back until he had been transferred from St. David's to CORE. The move went smoothly on the 6th, and Mom has been to visit a few times already in the days since then. He already fits in very well at the new facility and I'm told that he loves to be out in the halls and activity areas in his wheelchair, sitting and doing his best to visit with the staff and the other patients. He is in therapy Monday through Friday for quite a bit of his day, and has a little more time for R&R on the weekends. You are certainly right - there has been SO much rain down their way! I'm sure he talked about the lake from time to time, it was so far down for the last few years (something like 60 or 70 feet?) With all of the rain they have had it literally brought it up 50 feet in a couple of weeks! It was amazing, and is pretty close to being completely full. I will tell Mom to pass on to him that the FReepers have been asking about all the rain and that big lovely lake of his. :) Thank you again for the email. Have a great weekend!" The need continues for prayers and cards of support. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3224657/posts Apologies for the format, I tried to fix the paragraphs, but failed. Not sure what I did wrong.

Thanks for the PING.

Konnecticut - strawberries are done but rapberries are crankin'.
We've got bush beans galore and pulled the first cukes off yesterday, and squash should start coming off this weekend.

Eggplants doing very poorly and tomatoes are way behind - radishes were disappointing also.
We did just pull a great garlic crop, and spinach and lettuces are doing good.

What did I miss?
Oh, snap peas are just getting started, asparagus has to wait until next season for harvest, and peppers are late also.

But, we finally got CHICKENS! I mean, we didn't grow 'em, we bought them - but they are happy birds and giving eggs in return.
Thank you Jesus!
