[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My bell peppers did great last year. Squash, zucchini and grape tomatoes too. My corn and regular tomatoes did [b]NOT do[/b] very well this past year. My blueberry bushes died. [/quote]

I corrected my post above.  There was too much heat for my tomatoes and the birds ate the corn.  I had one late round of tomatoes, but they were still pretty green when I had to bring them inside.

For peppers, sometimes you have to remove some of the flowers so that the plant can focus on the four or five peppers growing.   Otherwise they become overwhelmed and the whole plant does poorly.

We prefer grape tomatoes over cherry tomatoes.  Strawberries seem to do well, but don't make it in the house.

I had quite a bit of luck with watermelon.  One plant gave us four small melons.  We could have let them get bigger, but we were excited and it helps the baby watermelons to harvest the bigger ones.

I planted broccoli and brussel sprouts, but the bugs liked the plants too much and I couldn't get them to produce.  I was trying to use all natural pest repellent, and it really didn't help. Only lettuce made it out of my early crops.  My lettuce was beautiful.  I couldn't even keep up with eating it before it went bitter with the heat.
