I am jealous of your Lemon Drop pepper, even if it is only one :) I sent a SASBE twice to a guy for some lemon drop seeds. Said he did not get the first one and over a month has passed since the second one and still no seeds and I am not going to ask. I feel for you and the heat. Most of my peppers were pulverized by hail 6 weeks ago, and those that survived now have leaves where stalks were. Doubt i will get peppers this year. i moved mine under trees to combat the heat. I watered twice today and the temp was 100 at 10 am and 106 at noon. Right now it is a cool 96. I hope things cool for a few days so that they can set more fruit. Good luck. Kathy in West Texas

If you could, send some heat my way. I was camping over the weekend of the 4th about an hour north of the house and it got into the 40's at night. It's not right to see your breath at anytime in July. But then again maybe it's better than dropping buds all summer.

40's would be great right about now. I will have to water three times tomorrow. Right now, 10 pm, it is still 90 degrees. WHEW!! Hubby is making 2 gallons of hot sauce and my eyes are burning and cannot open windows. Even if we wanted to make due with the heat there are the bird size mosquitoes. THe garden spiders love to eat them after a blood meal and they are large enough to get caught in the webs. We broke a heat record today. Box that cool weather and i will box the hot and we can do a trade :) Kathy
