My problem is birds. As soon as a tomato is ripe, they like to take a bite out of it. Not eating the whole thing of course, just a few bites. So I now take them inside to ripen.
peppers, tomatoes and green beans grow spectacularly well here. I have three small patches of three bean varieties and three different peppers, four different tomatoes and all are great. After some early success they were a problem so I added some calcium and so far almost ready to pick again.
Incidentally instead of going to a nursery I ordered flower seeds online very early with my veggie seeds. My marigolds and zinnias are breathtaking. When you are home 24/7 for a few months it is easy to not neglect seedlings.
I also planted a dwarf lemon. Did you know if you rub a lemon leaf between your fingers they are also very fragrant citrus smelling?
