Struggling, But Still Surviving

The oppressive heat is not friends with my few remaining plants, however, they are hearty things. I'm still getting a steady production of yellow pear tomatoes, as well as banana peppers and the welcome addition of hot chilies.

Every morning, before dawn, I go out and give them all a much needed drink. They aren't the full plants of a few weeks before, but somewhat limp and a little wilted, still, they live on. The fact they are still producing is more a testament to their resilience, than my skill.

I think I have enough tomatoes and peppers to make up a chunky salsa to go with dinner tonight, which of course, will be a light one, because who is crazy enough to cook in this heat? Stay cool guys and remember to keep hydrated.
