Re: Drought.../ now peppers

How lucky for you Donna, I have absolutely NADA.............    When I saw 
things were not going well, I let a very large caterpillar have his  way.  When 
I did decide, heck I will take a picture of him...  all was  left was his 
shell (so to speak )  I am not up on caterpillars.
 
Weather has been horrid.........  veggies just didn't do well, I  haven't 
gotten anything but critters having there way and some powdery  mildew.
 
Oh well, maybe I will have better luck next year.

Most  years I would agree with your folks, but not this year.

My 6 plants  have yielded more than we can eat. My family is tired of
stuffed peppers :)  They are huge ones too....good 5 -6 inches. Another
round is about ready,  looking into cutting them and freezing for stews
etc over the winter...  anyone done that?


I am also going to have an over aboundance of  tomatoes ....and cucumbers
.. and cantalope... only a couple of watermelons  tho. Sweet corn didn't
make it.... the few ears where harvested by some  critter.


I guess this series of rain, hot weather was perfect for  the veggie
garden. I planted less than I usually do since I didn't think I  would
have time to preserve the extras, so only planted what we normally  could
eat..... sigh.... hum, if they continue at this pace, wonder if I  could
offer it on freecycle.....
