Probably for dinner tomorrow we will see if it works. We haven't had
much rain but we have watered faithfully to keep the garden going in
all this heat. We're having around 90 to 95 degrees daily and, a
couple of days, we hit 101F. Of course the electric bill has doubled
due to running the air conditioning 24/7. Gas bill stays the same year
around as our provider has ways to work it at a lower cost.

Awesome!

I have only got two Ancho peppers so far this year. Sniff.
We're in Texas T, we just throw seeds on the ground and then jump back. G
We've always had good luck with all sorts of chilies with minor
exceptions. We just didn't try those again as a waste of time and money.

It's mid-August and it is hot, 97F right now and the gardens are getting
watered twice a day, early morning and at sunset.Those times are used
because if we do it mid-day the water evaporates before it can sink in.

The cantaloupes are giving us about one decent fruit a week, just enough
to have to eat. Wife brought a watermelon in from the church garden, it
had grown so fast it split almost in half so we ate it.

I can no longer get out in the hot sun due to the meds I take daily,
seven prescriptions split into three parts of the day. The !@@##$$%
electricity bill is shooting up every month. Hopefully we will get a
cool September, which seldom happens.
