Hi podheads, Today it's even hotter than yesterday. I looked and saw that it's 122F today. I had to sit in a blow-up pool with my son to cool off. As I was sitting I looked at my peppers. What a difference a day makes! The cayenne has grown 3 cm (1.18 Inch) since yesterday and the pepper hanging from it is now 5 cm (1.97 Inch) long. The Jalapeno has made a few more, but they have these little, black bumps on them. What are they? Can I still eat them with bumps? Some plants dropped a few blossoms. Is that bad? I hope not. They still have a lot more, but I hope it's not a plant illness. My hab is still small, but the black namaqualand is getting broader, not taller and I can see a few little blossoms forming. Happy, happy, joy, joy. I'm happy even though it's hotter than hell out here. BTW Mr. Flynn, if you're still at home: Happy Holiday when you do leave. Enjoy! Miss Dewi
