[Arid_gardener] Garden Update

[Ellen Stobaugh]

Hello to all,

I hope everyone is doing well. I thought since it had been discussed earlier this year, that I would let you know how our garden is growing. The pepper and tomato plants are out in the greenhouses in our garden. We got them both started inside in peat pots in early January. The tomatoes went out last month and were in wall of waters for about a week. We took the WoW down and now the plants are in cages in the greenhouse. We grow a tomato that I think is named Black Plum and we already have tomatoes that are almost ready to turn red. The peppers are doing great as well and one of my husband's hot pepper plants had peppers set before they went into the greenhouse. We have one garden that is all greenhouses now and the other garden is all open to the weather. Last summer, even with the heat outside and in the greenhouses we had many plants survive until the bad frosts we had out here this season. On the other hand, we have picked a few hot and bell peppers on the small side
 all winter long!

I wish everyone as much success with the gardens and trees as we seem to be having this year. Now I'm getting ready to thin the peaches that have set! Take care and have a great day.
