It’s been a few weeks since the garden went in, and a few since the heat wave that nearly killed it all. With everything thriving it seemed like a good idea to post an update.
After the heatwave things actually cooled down quite a bit. Maybe too cool as out tomatoes stopped flowering and the green tomatoes just seem to be hanging out. The weather has started to warm up a little though and the two plants now seem to be budding again. Our jalapeno peppers are producing slowly as well, I think this is related to the weather as well. Our little red pepper plant is quite happy! The plant hasn’t grown any but it continues to pump out peppers at a rate of 4 or 5 a week! Everything else is slowly coming along. Beans are starting to vine, squash and eggplant are blooming, okra is doing its thing… We also planted some oregano and basil today (you can see them in the very first image.)
I’m hopeful that I’ll be posting pictures of all the vegetables we’re eating next time and not just these plants!
Those peppers look like they could be Cayenne..
Really? Well what do you know! They’re pretty good! D wishes she had planted about three or four more of the plants…
Things sure made a quick recovery. Looks good.
Nice. I look forward to getting my vegetable beds in, but I have so much other work to do they may not be ready this year. I hope you have a great crop!
Well, they look really similar to peppers an Indian man I used to work with would share with me at lunch. They grew hotter as the summer approached and by mid-summer one pepper could set my whole body sweating. I ate them with noodles and man, they were good. I doubt they’re the same pepper because these peppers looked a bit closer to this: http://chilibase.info/?Peper=Goats+Weed so I don’t even know! There you go, unhelpful as heck blathering successful.
