Summer in April

Ouch! Temps are scorching and we're barely into Spring. Indiana toggles from Winter to Summer and back again. I feel ripped off.

Started some of the Hungarian black peppers both inside (hydro) and on my deck (soil). Should be interesting to compare them later! The Thai pepper continues to produce abundant fruit and now droops over the recovered bell pepper plant in the same deep water system.

The tomatoes are home to zillions of whiteflies. Why has this become a problem only now? I have to wonder if it's the lack of baby mantids. Planet Natural hopes to ship ootheca next week and they can't get here too soon. I miss my bugs.
