Greeneyes get well and rest up. Hope your all having at least some measurable success at the gardening ‘thang’ out there.
Always a mixed bag it seems. Yeh we got the Tx heat from hades showing up now—whats new? My cukes were growing just dandy until the oven came along-— I got a total of 4 fruits from 4 vine plants——not a so a good a. Swiss chard in pots is surprisingly good even in the heat but with some PM shade.
Maters were all replacements so have to wait for Fall if I can get them past the scorch of August. Peppers got big and leafy and finally some blooms but same as above. The sweet and cinnamon basil are good, reliable soldiers out there and I salute them before eating them up on their designated food entries.

Speaking of Swiss Chard. I left one in a pot from last season and it is producing some great Swiss chard. So from now on, I’ll not pull them up at the end of the season.
