We put in three tomato plants, planted in late June. They're doing well, despite the late start. I didn't get any cayenne peppers planted this year though.

Tomatoes and peppers like hot, direct sunlight, and they like to dry out between waterings. It was just too wet for too long, not enough direct sunlight. My tomato plants started to rot out at the roots.
Did experience a new kind of tomato plant this year though. I bought what I thought were a few big boy tomato plants from an Earl May down the street. I ended up with a really strange tomato plant that puts out purpleish-green tomatoes. Had to research it on the net to find out they are called Black Tomatoes. Different tasting too.

Wonder if that isn't what happened to my mom's plants, they were doing pretty good, then just suddenly died, but the ground around there does tend to stay wet. The peppers had been doing pretty good as well, but didn't make a lot of them. My tomatoes weren't planted until at least June, and are faster maturing because they were so late, only in the last couple weeks started to get any from it, and they are small, but are likely the nature of Early Girls...

Off to my Physics test for the day... heck of a way to start the day....At least I have the rest of the day off for a change, now just gotta get it to quit raining long enough near a weekend to get my water line run so i can get hooked up to rural water and stop having to haul it from my parents...

And here I am again, but today I go into work later, so I need to do a bit on my trailer so i can pick up a Lincoln that needs to be removed from a property in town. Have to see what it is going to take to get it out of where it is, then of course, what I can scavenge off of it....

It would seem the deal fell through, as my co worker never came in to let me know where it was and such. I'm not going to drive the truck and trailer in to see if I find anything out. 70 miles for nothing at 10 MPG vs 35 MPG is not good financial sense to me.
