In the 80s here. Lots of blossoms and leaves popping out.. Tomatoes are blossoming too.. I am torn over what else to plant. Peppers, eggplant..? Its only April 17.. Lots of options..
Peppers for sure for us. They grew better than anything last year. I harvested a green one when needed and froze a few - the rest I let turn red before harvest, and then cut them into quarters, vacuum packed, and put in freezer for stir fry.
Red peppers here are at least 2 bucks during the winter and even more for organic, if you can even find them. Peppers are also a great source of vitamin C. We can’t really grow citrus outdoors here, so peppers are one source for us.
