did *anyplace* have a good year???
::: raising hand::: We had an excellent year here in the garden. I'm
in the Puget Sound
area of Washington state.
*Washington* had more sun this summer than we had here???
I have *got* to get back home and away from this place of misery.
My tomatoes have produced like crazy. I
don't think they'll
all ripen before frost, so I'm going to pick them this weekend while
green and let them
ripen up in the house.
Lots of leaves, as it rained all summer, with little sun until late
august. Couple of tomato plants had two or three total . . .
Peppers did good, so did the green beans. We
had an unusually
hot, dry summer. Not like last summer when the tomatoes were disappointing.
I actually had jalapeno plants without a single pepper. One chile plant
went nuts, and one jalapeno had a bunch, though all small. And I think
a total of three habanero between two bushes.
