Mini garden not a success

Sad to report that the outdoor mini garden is not a success. That one small sprout gave us hope, but it soon was clear that the heat was too much. It looks as if we will try once again indoors this time. We have tested another seed germinating process and are happy to state much success with that. Photos to follow :)

A few peppers drying in the west side window

A few Anaheim peppers drying in a sunny, west facing window. The longest pepper is approx. 6" long. They are really good in eggs and salsa.

P.S.- I chopped up and ate ONLY ONE small, very small jalapeno pepper on some nachos the other day and almost burned my tongue right out of my mouth! lol

Make sure you wear your gloves when picking these hot peppers like jalapeno, habanero, serrano and others.

Heat is wilting our Arizona tomatoes

The heat is hitting our tomatoes hard today. A little tomato leaf wilt doesn't bother that much, I know it actually helps them produce a better tasting harvest.

I'm going to try and save these tomatoes as long as I can. The 4 tomato plants we have give us about 10 or so tomatoes every few days.
