Lately Harry has taken to calling me Mrs. Green Jeans. I am having a marvelous time taking care of the fall garden. Can you believe we are STILL producing poblano peppers? They are much smaller now, but they are also much hotter than even a mild jalapeno.
The tomatoes are loving this cooler growing season. The summer heat tends to parch the plants and often necessitates twice-a-day watering. Fall tomatoes however get the warm daytime sun (mid 80s) with the benefit of cooler evenings. (The hottest part of a summer day is typically between 4 and 6 in the evening, so there is no such thing as a "cooler evening" during those hot months.) One drawback - the snails like it better too!!!
Until I have more to share....
