Let's see those '11 gardens!

Hot weather will cause them to bolt. The best thing I can recommend is to pinch the flower stalks before they set blooms.

Still cranking out tomatoes and peppers. Stuffed two dozen jalapenos Sunday night. Absolutely delicious! My gut took a pounding for it. My dad's garden is rolling in watermelons, cantalopes, and pumpkins. Never have planted pumpkins before and these things grow like wildfire.

Heat index in Charleston at 7 p.m. - 109F. The grass could grow knee-high and it wouldn't bother me.
