farpar, We've been having a really exceptionally hot summer here too. All our crops and flowers are two weeks ahead of normal years. Let me share my experience with my sweet cherry peppers. At first they were doing all right, but then kind of stalled. All the other peppers and different veggies were growing, but no new buds or any green growth from the sweet cherry peppers. What I did was apply a foliar spray of 1TB Epsom salts per gallon of water, once a week for 2 weeks. Then I found some water-soluble starter fertilizer (10-52-10) which I applied the third week. That really woke them out of their stupor. I used the same on my tomatoes, zucchini and cucumbers. The only ones that haven't really responded as well are the cucumbers. I would skip the salts and go directly to the 10-52-10 fertiizer. I believe there's still time for a decent harvest.

Hello Jerome69. I do not need any of your seeds (thank-you but I do have them) however I do have lots of flower seeds, please send me a message, I'd be pleased to send you a package! Happy Holidays girlgroupgirl

Haley, I forgot to say this earlier: welcome to the OK Forum and I'm glad you joined. I hope you'll post here often. It is a great place to share experiences and knowledge, whether it is your 1st day as a gardener or your 100th year (okay, slight exaggeration....none of us are quite that old yet). I hope. Cool-season crops are tricky in our climate because of the erratic nature of our springtime temperatures. Because of that, we've learned to be extra-careful to plant cool-season crops on time (or early if we can get away with it). Since our cool season often gets cut short by the early arrival of hot weather, we've learned that we cannot be greedy and hold out for a larger harvest----we have to grab whatever harvest of cool season crops we can get whenever we can get it. Don't feel bad. I bet every single one of us has messed up one cool-season crop or another while holding out hope that if we left it alone and let it grow some more then we'd get a bigger harvest....and the weather refused to cooperate with us and then we didn't the larger harvest we were expecting. Chalk it up as a lesson learned. I assure you that lessons learned the hard way like this, while disappointing, are lessons that make all of us better gardeners. Now that we know that you are there, you're stuck with us, your new gardening family. So post often, ask questions, read other people's questions and everyone else's answers back to them. You'll learn a huge wealth of knowledge from everyone here. Gardening is a very fulfilling, very worthwhile, very interesting hobby/lifestyle, but there is a learning curve. Hopefully, by being a member of this forum, your learning curve will be shorter and less painful than it otherwise would be. You won't have to guess nearly as much....or, at least, you'll have us guessing right along with you. Dawn
