What the rain didn't kill off the heat will. I hand watered last night each and every plant. We are on super strict water rationing. So no sprinklers , it was too late to hook up the soakers so I just spent some time doing the watering. I have peppers again a few of them rebounded and the new ones really look good. I do have squash that came up after the rains and I have 5 yellows. Maybe 10 tomatoes left trying to grow and ripen . I did plant new ones this week too.
Found some cukes I didn't plant hiding under the spaghetti squash, they look like watermelons they got so big. Hope they taste ok.

I didn't plant Purple Hulls this year Dale. I should have, don't know what I was thinking! I should be picking again tomarrow or Friday. Do you put snaps in with your peas? I like to do that..about 3/4 peas and 1/4 snaps.
