This is the hottest April on record. It feels like August; not April

My plants are about done-very few blossoms left - night-time lows are in the high 70s. I am hoping for cooler weather for one last push of tomatoes.

We're on the verge of those 90 temps but haven't crossed the line yet. Hope we don't for a long time. Plenty of rain yesterday. My plants must have been smiling. Of course now I'll have to spray that neem oil for the fungicide protection. Will get to that later today when the temperature settles down. Right now I'm glad things are getting a chance to 'dry out' a little. Started my peppers later than usual so they aren't in the garden yet. My Jimmy Nardellos just sat there last year until the summer heat hit - then they started to put out big time. Love those peppers, but you have to order the seeds - no plants or seeds in the stores. They aren't hot peppers but have a nicer more robust flavor than the standard stuff. I made vinegar peppers with the overflow last year and still have several jars canned.
