so, its the middle of august, and its supposed to be really hot, but we have been having some really autumnal weather...wet spring, superduper hot summer, then early fall. so i am wondering how this is all going to effect my garden. ( some of you may remember how i had my hopes and dreams of a martha stewart garden last year dashed by an early frost that killed ALL of my tomatos?...) i read somewhere that if you want a bumper tomato crop, you had to sort of parch the little plants in late july, throw them into survival mode, otherwise known as fruit bearing!! so i tried that, and voilah!! tons and tons of pretty little yellow flowers!! yay!! late summer fruint!! poor little vines can hardly hold their heads up!! but the peppers are what i am most excited about right now!! i planted "chocolate", yellow and red, and they are finally starting to show some promise!! LOOK!!
