Klo, With the slow, steady improvement in our temperatures, I bet your okra will bloom and set pods in September and then you'll at least have gotten peppers and okra from the garden.

It has been a wickedly tough garden year, particularly the summer months. I sure hope 2012's weather is more kind to all of us than the 2011 weather has been this year.

Yes, it would be really sad not to at least one more good crop of tomatos before the world ends,

Made it into September and I got to cut a few pods of okra yesterday and pepper plants haven't dropped any blooms yet, yea!!! Don't know if there will be enough time but I planted some leaf lettuce and radish's yesterday, had to water the row first so the seed would germinate. Saw two little tomatoes so all in all things are looking up! Maybe the fight to keep things alive will pay off in the end. Hope everyone else can get some produce this fall.

I was on vacation last week and I got back Monday and had little tomatoes! I almost passed out because I haven't had a tomato all year. I was surprised the change was so immediate. My peppers have been dropping blossoms all year too, but maybe those will finally set fruit now that it's not 115 degrees every day.
