We've been enjoying tomatoes from friends' gardens, which are almost petered out now. I hope they do what you're doing so we have fall tomatoes too. This gardening via friends is a good deal.
Hi Kathleen--I hope your friends have good luck with fall tomatoes. This will be my first attempt at fall tomatoes.
I think we'll try some fall tomatoes, too. I'm thinking of trying the "Gypsy" red bell peppers, too, if I can find them!
Lynell--I've never heard of "Gypsy" red bell peppers--will keep an eye out for them. Have you tried fall tomatoes before?
Hi Iris - thought I commented on this... giving you all my sympathy & empathy. Even in a year when we were not in drought, that early heat was a pain for pollination.
Good luck with the fall crop!

Hi Annie--Surprisingly, since I posted this, I've managed to get a few Juliets, real sun golds, and a handful of baby Valley Girls. Maybe fall will work out okay after all.
Not precisely off topic but - what do you do with your hot peppers? I tend to have better luck with pepper plants than tomatoes so I'm trying to figure out not only what does well around here but also what we'd enjoy eating and how. Your suggestions perhaps?
Hi Deb--
Nothing complicated so far. I mostly use the peppers in curries, quesadillas, and egg dishes. I don't yet know how to can or pickle (but on my to-do list), so I use them fresh.
