It's been above 100 for days. Friend said it got to 111 at their house a couple days ago. The corn burned up again this year. I'll give it next year and if it still doesn't produce, then no more. The green beans are done. The kohl rabi just started to make but it's in sad shape. The onions are done so I'll just pull the rest this week and call it a season. The tomatoes aren't doing much. I get about one or two a day. The bell and sweet peppers aren't putting on anymore and some plants didn't produce at all. I had started them back in January.

The jalapenos are doing fine but they are HOOOOOOTTTTTT!!!! My hands burn for days when I chop one or two and you can't eat them. I haven't had a habanero that hot. I tried roasting a couple but that ran us out of the house coughing. Those seeds are going in the trash. It's ridiculous. I'd hoped to put up salsa but with no tomatoes and these peppers off the scoville chart, oh well.

You are starving them for water. I saved some seeds from my hottest jalapeno pepper last year for our friend. She is like me, and keeps them well watered. She said they are too mild. Ours are the same.
