Heat Wave

The temperatures in the high 80s and 90s have really punished the peppers this year.  Last year I had a pepper that was ready to harvest by this time.  This year, I just found the first little sweet pepper.  The plants are also much smaller than the same time last year.  My only explanation is the heat.  It has been 2 weeks with no rain in temperatures in the high 80s and in the 90s this week.  Fortunately there are thunderstorms and lower temperatures coming.  The tomatoes look a lot healthier this year and my corn is chest high already.  In the end, I'm sure it will all work out.  I'm glad I had blog posts for this same time last year.
