Tons of peppers, and tomatoes are fruiting out again. I hope the first frost holds out long enough to get some good ones.
True, glad I kept my pepper and tomatoe plants going.....
Plus, IMO, If you aint drinking, you aint mowing.

Jalapenos, eggplant and bell pepper like crazy in my small patch...

Here's the tomatoes I planted in my upper garden last spring - photo taken about 3-4 weeks after planting.  My plants made it through the summer heat and are still producing. I'm sure they are going to get killed by the cold nighttime weather soon, but I am still harvesting right now. These two photos are from today.

You better get to picking today JP. If it freezes out there tonight, it will be mush come morning. Nice looking garden by the way.

I might have dodged the bullet. I covered my garden and it appears there is very minor burning on just a few plants.

Does anyone know of the cold tolarance a tomatoe plant can handle in a green house and still produce?? I have blooms and dug up 2 plants from this year, potted them and put them in the greenhouse to see how they do. This my 1st try with them inside. The reason I ask is, I will let the inside temp of the green house get down to around 38-40 during the winter at night. During the daytime, temps can get up to 80 in there depending on sunlight and outside temps. I keep a small electic heater in there on a timer with thermostat, and have a wirless thermometer to monitor temps next to my recliner.  The Jalapenos seem to be doing great in there. Hard to see the tomatoes for they are tucked in some taller stuff.

Not sure, but my outdoor tomatoes, jalapenos and bell peppers are still doing fine. Growing a tad slow, as I would expect with the cool temps but still had 26 tomaotes on the vine this morning with 3 plants. Actually, I still have some okra producing but it has slowed way down since Thanksgiving. Probably a good thing since we already put 6 gallons bags full in the freezer not counting what we've eaten, lol.

Jalapenos are more cold-hardy than most peppers but I've got pequins and thais in pots (sitting on a deck by a small pond) that are still surviving . My tomatoes and gourds got bit this past weekend. I'd probably raise the night temps up to 50ish. High 30s / low 40s might be pushing it .
