If I went by how it looks now, I'd pack it in and forget about it! Like I said, either eternal optimist or masochist! LOL. That’s what keeps me going, thinking about the fall garden.

We've had a real hot summer, and things tend to wilt down during the day, but at least they don't shrivel up and die. You watch though, you'll be producing like mad when most of the rest of us are just dreaming about next year. It would get discouraging.

I started too late, and it's been an extraordinarily hot and dry summer. The wind keeps blowing, and the sun keeps shining, and the plants keep dying. I do have replacements started, so we'll see what happens. I do get discouraged, but it won't be this hot all the time...I hope! It'll get better. Thanks for the sympathy, though, appreciate it!

Maybe you can install something to shade the plants when needed? I’m so sorry…..Some of my veggies shutdown during the peak of summer, but thankfully have started producing again.
