News: Summer Garden Getting Started!

So after a hot end of spring and an early dose of 90 degrees the cucumbers all dried up, eggplants didn't make it, corn all bit the dust, and the peas died.  We have a bunch of empty beds except for the watermelons that aren't making it too great a bunch of tomatoes that are all starting to not look so good and a bunch of hot peppers.  Today we will be going to the local nursery to get some black eyed pea seeds, some summer squash plants, possibly some zucchini , and sweet potatoes! Also I will be using the new large sandy bed for my hot peppers! Ive got like 4 types of Habaneros growing some ghost chillies, a couple Trinidad scorpions, and a couple other hybrid extremely hot habaneros. Needless to say I like growing hot peppers! It may not look too pretty for the summer but as long as we get through it, it should look beautiful come fall! Keep posted for updates!
