Update as of the first weekend of August:
* Potted banana peppers continue to be our breakout plant. It is producing so much that we are unable to eat them fresh quickly enough, so I found a recipe to make refrigerator peppers. It will work with these bananas and also habaneros and jalapenos.
* Peppers in the ground are finally making some progress. All have flowers or mini peppers started. Bells seem to be about twice as high as my hot varieties. Jalapeno and banana are the only two on the fence that have peppers started. Hanging peppers are still about half the size of potted/planted ones.
* Tomatoes are all growing well in pots. Supersweets have the most green tomatoes, followed by 4th of July, then Roma. Roma is the only hanging tomato to have a green tomato started.
* The one planter of lettuce seems to yield enough for a salad for Jack every other day. I should increase lettuce pots next year.
* Pickles have almost stopped producing, they have developed some kind of rot. They seem to do this to some extent every year. They just seem to dry and and die from the bottom up. I should really research this.
