I imagine low temps like that will make all those tomato and pepper plants you have very unhappyâŚ
I seem to have the opposite issue, temps in the 90s for 2-3 weeks have meant less flowering and fruit on my tomatoes. Thankfully over the weekend weâre dropping back into the low 80s, with about an inch or so of rain forecast.

As of this week Iâm irrigating MWF excepting blueberries.
The weather just isnât âquite rightâ. Looks like starting Sunday we will be entering a wet weather pattern. We can definitely use the rainâŚbut I donât like the looks of the long range forecast.

Rain missed us again
Yep, the peppers havenât grown a lot and havenât bloomed much. The tomatoes are producing fruit but the plants are smaller than usual. Weâre very dry on top of all that, but I do have water down at the big garden (8 100â hoses to get there!).

the reason why i grow tomatoes and peppers in my 10â by 20â greenhouse. best investment ive ever made ! the extra heat and humidity in there produces great crops in our cool summers. my monitor says its 91f in there right now with both ends open. its almost tropical in there. $300 from amazon.

Do you have trouble with aphids and spider mites?
Exactly, I havenât had a day in the 80âs in weeks. These hot days are ruining any prospect of a good summer crop.
a little. Iâve been lucky this year as i have a bunch of daddy long legs that are all over my plants eating the bugs that come around.

They seem to be a big problem in tunnel production around here
They are harder to kill with insecticide than their preditors. Thus, over use of weaker pesticides can result in nasty spider mite infections. IPM is the best approach.

Smoke from Canadian fires is supposed to show up here tonight and tomorrow.
At this point Iâm just trying to keep my plants alive. Record high temps and no rain. 107 forecasted for tomorrow and Sunday.

Thatâs great. We still have 6 weeks before we can start thinking about cooler weather/rain in a usual year. Really hot this year thoughâŚ
