They do have some impressive clusters, but seemed to pause its growth during the heat wave. The copra onions look nice and thick. I bet you will have a great harvest. Mine are just beginning to get some size on them. <br /><br />We have several window air conditioners to get us through what is normally the few hot periods of summer. Lately, they have been getting a workout. Thankfully the heat broke for us over the weekend and today we have rain. The garden needs it. I watered in between, but nothing compares to a good soak that only mother nature can provide.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129119492962711399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-19414454502893664472013-07-23T07:56:29.284-04:002013-07-23T07:56:29.284-04:00Wow no air conditioning?

At least it is raining today and things have cooled down.

What a week it was! Unlike you I did get some nice rain yesterday morning for about two hours and believe me it was appreciated! Your harvest looks great, especially those tomatoes.

Here in the midwest we went through the excessive heat last summer and peppers and tomatoes just stopped producing after a few days over 100 degrees. That weather prediction looks a little scary. gardenvariety-hoosierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823437033502199023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-45705460786348820192013-07-22T14:01:04.887-04:002013-07-22T14:01:04.887-04:00Looking good again this week Dave.

We have been over 100 for 4 days now. But it is a dry heat here in Utah so I'm sure it is worse for you with all the humidity.Stoney Acreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436236175480982661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-24206378028263585892013-07-22T12:50:35.327-04:002013-07-22T12:50:35.327-04:00Unfortunately Shawn Ann, it does send out side sho...Unfortunately Shawn Ann, it does send out side shoots but they are tiny and tough.

Sugary looks similar in growth habits but is more of a grape tomato with 0.5 oz. fruits and is probably a lot sweeter than Juliet.David Veltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710293718143454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-61883211966482715122013-07-22T12:47:35.830-04:002013-07-22T12:47:35.830-04:00I'm loving that forecast, made me giggle.

The sweet onions are still upright though so I am leaving them alone and hoping I get even more size on them before they declare they are done. <br /><br />Beautiful peppers and clusters of tomatoes!kitsapFGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06120640838501186514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-3008353886901369262013-07-22T11:22:44.251-04:002013-07-22T11:22:44.251-04:00Ha ha!

They look like Sugary hybrid that I used to grow. How do they taste? Sugary was sweet and the flesh was chewy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
