Hi Black Swan, My green houses is humid and hot in the Houston 92 degree weather. They get strong sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon. 36 early girls, 18 San Martinos, and 18 Marzanos (last two types are plum tomatoes). 3 sun gold cherry tomatoes so sweet and so aggressive a plant, I'll put them in a separate box this year (sharing the compost section of the oldest box). Then 42 jalapenos (this year the gigante was discontinued - experimenting with Everman and Dante), 72 for the hot peppers with 30 serranos (which my favorite Serrano Del Sol was also discontinued!). The Salsa god's are messing with me. LOL For Sweet peppers we did 18 big Bertha and 15 Carmen. The carmen are thinner skinned but ripen up to a pretty red (adds a bit of color is some recipes. The rest of the garden is going to be crash plantings once we get to Wisconsin. Although two weeks later than usual, we've not missed a planting opportunity, Late frost and huge rains this weekend would have rendered my raised beds to wet to till. The usual first week of June is going to be busy with no doubt out of control grass and dandelions everywhere. Time to weed and feed after the first clipping. Just finishing up a big project on my Houston house. The installation of Hardy Plank boards and perforated soffit. I've been taking a section at a time every year with two big section this winter. That leaves only the rear porch area for next year and huge project will be complete. Looking so much better than the pine boards that where production rate installed in 1992. Cracked boards with Houston's humidity is a sure rot problem. They needed to go! Thanks for the thought and post. Bob
