RE: Drought.../ now peppers

If not, check out a local "soup kitchen."  They love to get fresh produce of
any type!

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.....

Cathy, my sweet peppers never produce like the hot ones either.   I only
need 
a few hot ones for salsa so I have been hauling hot ones everywhere trying
to 
get rid of them.   I have 4 plants and the variety is 'Garden Salsa'.   
Prolific!
