Last year, it was like my yard had been hit by a nuke. Even the weeds died.

Yeah, that was what it was like here in San Antonio. With 95+ days this week the summer outlook is bleak, to say the least.

On the bright side of things, husky cherry tomato plants are full of promising husky clusters. Thanks JDB for recomending the variety!

Started picking both baby cucino and soyu long cucumbers plus space masters have started to grow. Got a dozen tomato plants in ground and pots. Got three volunteers. This afternoon will transplant six Kellog's Breakfast Tomatoes. That should be interesting. Green and yellow tomatoes are definitely not recommended for our area. But, hope springs eternal!

Thai, cayenne and jalapeno peppers are hanging on. Hot weather is good for them. Sweet peppers -- Chinese Giant, Camelot and Big Early -- have little peppers growing. Two of my H.E.B. mystery peppers survived the winter and have little peppers growing. Will be interesting to see what the plants produce.

You're very welcome. Very hardy plants that produce tons of tomatoes. You can't hardly beat a husky cherry red. My next favorites are chocolate cherry and Sweet 100.
