Everything seemed fine in the garden when I checked it out before sunrise, so I'm happy. Cantaloupes should be ready by next week. I'm impatient for the tomatoes to ripen. Maybe next week.
I harvested LOTS of the NM chili peppers and am roasting and pureeing them prior to freezing them in portion control lots. They are real producers.

I am enjoying our more moderate temps so far this year. Our basement apartment has been a nice 75 degrees in the walk - out side and about 70 degrees in the storage area and excercise room.
I hope you don’t have a repeat of 2011 too.
I know, I know...today it is 106 here. Went to the community garden, some of the green peppers will be ready for the Market next Saturday, 6 Jul. Hopefully a whole bunch of small tomatoes will be ready. The squash are just about done for and will be pulled and put in the compost heap. I’m going to put some of the 4 mil plastic over it and see how fast it decomposes.
OH, I have a little friend who is raising red wigglers for her keyhole gardens. They will be going on a 2 week trip in mid July and guess who is going to care for the little things while she and hubby are gone? Yep. They really eat a lot of scraps, so I’m going to ask some of our fast food places if they have coffee grounds, egg shells, salad scaps, for me to pick up for the little critters.
Johnny,
You posted picks of your tobacco dusted with DE last week. Do you smoke it? Isn’t DE silicate?
