It's been a cool/overcast summer this year. I'm grateful that I haven't had to turn on the A/C very often (twice only) this summer so far, but d*mn....not enough sun has made my garden very very slow to produce this year.

1. Yaaaa!
I hope you end up with many, many more. We've had too much heat and little rain so we've picked many of our well-formed and sized ones to ripen on the window sill inside. Better than letting them rot or get eaten out on the vine before they turn red.

:hi:

2. Our chili pepper plants are about three inches taller than when we planted them on Memorial Day
Our tomatoes are growing slowly. Spaghetti squash plants died. I don't know what happened.

Been a great year for lettuce, though.

3. I have 1 ripe one and a bunch of green ones. My plants are barely
3 feet tall as opposed to 5 feet by this time in the season. Beans are growing and I have one lonely flower on my one squash plant that survuved. Not a banner year in the garden!
