A few garden pictures!

July 14, 2014

Two weeks ago, all of my tomato plants were covered with green foliage. With temps nearing 100 degrees F. recently, many of my plants are now leafless. It contributes to some interesting photos of tomatoes which would normally be well hidden behind green leaves.

Ted, absolutely beautiful tomatoes and peppers. I am always envious of folks who has bell peppers this time of the year with peppers growing on the plant. I have never been able to do that. If I can keep them alive during the summer, they will usually produce a bumper crop during the fall.

I have a dumb question on the sweet cayenne pepper. Does the sweet cayenne have the cayenne flavor without the heat?

Better Bell Hybrid is the first variety I've grown which wasn't dead by this late in the summer. I've probably tried every variety they sell in the nurseries and big box stores. California Wonder seems to be the most popular or at least the most often sold variety which typically is dead by the end of June. I think I will continue growing Better Bell from seed instead of wasting my money on the low heat resistant varieties.

Sweet Cayenne has no heat though it looks like it could melt the roof of your mouth away. It does have a pleasantly strong Cayenne flavor. I really like it as a seasoning in dishes when you don't want a lot of heat. It's another variety I've never seen sold so I grow it from seed.
