Rain and Shine

Despite the recent dry weather, I am loathe to wish for precipitation.  The last time I did that it did not stop raining for three weeks.  We did have a nice shower yesterday which helped germinate some late crops like radishes, beets, spinach and herbs.  It will also help the summer crops keep up production and the fall cauliflower and broccoli to continue maturing.  The tomatoes and peppers are coming, but many of the plants made vegetative growth but very little fruit.  Some of the Ace peppers on the other hand have 2 or 3 large peppers hanging off a plant that is less than a foot tall.  It has been a learning experience this summer, but one I hope not to repeat.
