Pinging all the names I could remember off of the top of my head. The list seems to be lost, so ping around.

Thanks for the ping. This is my favorite time of the week; to see all my fav FReepers and to talk gardening and other non-political things, like recipes. It does seem as though we need a second alternate to the keeper of the ping list, just in case Justa and Red are out of pocket.

Our tomatos are coming in great now, both the Big Boys and Grape tomatos, we have an eggplant that is growing, lots of banana peppers about 6" long. Our second garden, the okra patch that is way out back is growing well, being only one month old. Im not sure how long till it matures and produces.

My wifes flower beds are all doing great now; all of this year's plants have taken hold and are thriving.

Our plants of all descriptions, and in all areas are doing well in this Texas heat largely due to having drip irrigation on timers watering everything automatically.

Thanks for the ping. Sorry for the delay; I was here for a couple of hours looking around, then had to go get some stuff done before it got too hot.

Came back and started reading and posting.

Then hubby and granddaughter came in with imperatives so that I had to quit and take care of their stuff, just as I was getting ready to post to you.

Really having some record breaking heat these days 106 and 107 degrees. Less humidity which helps humans survive, but does nothing for the plants. Also means that air conditioner makes less water.

I think I am going to dig up some of them and put them in pots and bring them indoors where it is cooler, and the soil won’t dry out so fast.
