A few -15°F nights, heavy wind and me not keeping the row cover in place did 'em in. I have some heavier row cover I could've used to keep them going for a while longer, but we've already had our fill for here—froze some, dried some hot—and there's no more market for 'em. So, yesterday, I took a last picture and tilled them under... Your endless summer, huh. Well, sounds good. :) Steve: Nah, the peppers are now officially toast.

Dreamy weather in North Texas right now--80s/60s--tomatoes still cranking out a bumper crop, while still cool enough for the winter crops to thrive...hope this temperature slot keeps going for awhile!
