This was the first year in 6 years that I didn't have a HUGE veggie garden out in the back 1/2-acre, but instead only a small one with 6 varieties of peppers and 6 tomato plants, all up close to the house/carport where I walk by every day. The drought and temps in the low 100's for over 70 days straight gave me only grape & cherry tomatoes for about 2-3 weeks in late spring, then nothing grew except the plants that struggled to survive even though they got hand-watered every 1-2 days for those months of high heat. In Oct they started greening up and producing again (finally!!!), but as of the last day of November, I've only harvested one tomato off of them and no peppers are growing (yet).
