Hmm, I guess this means not only do I have to plow your patch I have
to sow the seeds too. hehe

Why didn't you plant tomatoes, you have better tomato growing climate
than me. And this year my pepper crop is explosive, lots, and huge...
bell peppers are fantastically blocky, thick walled and heavy, and
jalapenos will be way more than I could use in ten years. Must be all
this hot weather that finally decended. But even in this heat still I
spent a good part of today string trimming. It's so hot that I have
to carry a terry towel to mop up the sweat (usual paper towels don't
do it), and I'm already on my 2nd gallon of ice water with limes.
Maybe I can get you to extract my juice... hehe
