Funny you mention that. We're having a sub-par year as well. We didn't get our plants in early enough (just too darn cold this spring), so we're hoping that things will turn around in August. We have a few varieties this year, less than last year, but they just don't seem to be doing very well. We have some Cayenne doing pretty well...but the heat of the last couple of weeks hasn't helped our other plants as much as we had hoped.
