I wish my maters had done better this growing season. We had soooo much rain the soil never dried out. The hot peppers didn’t like it either. But I have gotten a few peppers here recently. My tomato plants are dead now so no hope for those. With all the rain I wonder what winter will bring!!
One thing about the weather is it can always suprise you just when you think you have it all figured out. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.LOL
You could have sent some rain to TX. As Arrowhead said, the lakes are the lowest they’ve been since the 1950s. We’re at about the 50 day mark of 100+ degree but it’s suppose to ease into the 90s this weekend. Blah, I missed watering the last two days and just came in from watering as every leaf had wilted. The basil has kicked the bucket and something ate the beans I’d planted in the herb bed. I really need to buy more chicken wire.
After the neighbor cut down his bush/tree along side a couple tomatoes and okra, those have gone into shock from no shade. I’m still only getting a handful of cherry tomatoes a week despite having over a dozen plants. It’s the heat. They just won’t produce in this weather. Maybe when it gets cooler. Last year, I didn’t have any until right before the Nov. freeze.
Something got most of the cukes. Looks like there’s one plant left and it has one on it so I’m watching it closely.
Arrow, have you had flies? It has been Amityville around here for a couple months inside and outside. Open the door and they swarm in. Go outside and I’m constantly swatting at them. I’ve never seen them here like this for so many weeks. I have fly swats in every room and beside the computer. Hubby hung fly strips on the porch back in July and I’m to the point of letting him put them in the house, ick. BTW, do NOT buy fly swats from HEB (made in China) because they break into a dozen pieces at the first swat.
