We had rain overnight also. Because we were out of town until yesterday, there are TONS of leaves on the ground. We will have to let things dry out before we can start working on that.
As for the soaking in the election, I plan to just stay the course and keep my head about me. I feel like we had a two year reprieve from the Democrat shenanigans, and now it will be helter-skelter going forward. It will be turbulent and I just need to accept that for what it is. I’m gonna stand my ground.
Hi, FF! I’ve sent you a PM!
All:
Although I did not get a lot of fruits (just one plant, and I waited a bit too long to put it in a bigger pot), the fruits from my “Coolapeño” pepper plant, once they turned red, were great! Very sweet, somewhat “fruity”, and mostly with few defects. Very little variation from fruit to fruit — none trying to bump up near Jalapeño heat. The plant just had a few more fruits turn red, with a couple more greenies still coming along: I brought it in last night* and we’ll see if it overwinters ok.
*Our frost last night was NOT as bad as forecast. NWS had predicted 30 deg. F and my best (and best located) outdoor (electronic) thermometer says we got down to 34.6 deg. NWS says the 5:53 a.m. temp. was 34.0 deg. F at their office. I probably should have tried to cover “everything” I couldn’t bring in, but only some of the fully exposed surfaces here had frost on them (our old popup camper’s roof gets frost on it B4 anything else.)
NWS presently forecasts 31 deg. F for us early tomorrow morning, so maybe the plants I did cover can pull through. Then it looks like the next (even colder) air gets here ~ next Friday. Golly, we have a lot of green tomato fruits still out there...
Oh, BTW, FF (and “All” too!):
