Flyingbrass, you just described my weather this year... on days when the temps are good the wind beats the plants up...... and on days when the wind is good the temps go back in the 40's ....
Now it will probably go above 100 everyday till this fall...
desertlzbn, I went totally organic about 5years ago and as a by product.. I decided not to bring any commercial plants into my garden ie. peppers, tomatoes, cabbage etc... and much to my suprise I have not seen a whitefly in two years and very very few aphids.. it actually was unexpected .. I hadn't thought about it before, but now I don't even buy premixed potting soil.. I mix my own, with all the ingredients found at Home Depot or Wally World... not only is it much cheaper this way, but I'm convinced my plants are doing better ... and the garden as a whole...
