Wow, now that's a tomato plant!  The closest thing we have to that is some of the squash, but it's growing along the ground outside of the bed.  It might be just about that tall if we let it grow up instead of out!  We've gotten some good cherry tomatoes, but the bigger ones aren't growing as well.  Those peppers look great, so I hope you can find some yummy things to make to tame the heat a bit.  I'm with you--I don't mind a little zing, but I can't handle too much.  Bugs are really challenging for sure.  We've had a lot of little bitty worms or caterpillars getting into the little bit that's still growing here right now.  But it's been so hot lately, we're cutting back some of the spring plantings and just keeping what we can going until it gets time to plant for the cooler fall weather.  Always fun to see what everyone else has going on, though!

Think I tried cherry tomatoes last year and I had no luck with all the issues I was having. I ended up getting one tinny little thing and that was it.

I would love to try and grow a squash one day. When I was a kid my family uses to grow pumpkins for Halloween. It was always fun going out and checking on them. 


The heat sure has been an issue. I have been watering up to two times a day in the early morning and evening after things have cooled down.  They have been quite thirty and dry a number of times. 

I am tempted to trying growing some more when fall starts. I’ve never seen snow down here so I might be able to keep a few of these going for quite some time. The couple hard freezes tend to do everything in. I know not everything does well the second year. I think that is when parsley tries to seed and some others but I could be mistaken.
