Not very well it turns out.
My cucumbers had to go as they were destroyed by thrips. My green beans produced one round of yummy vegetables and then they too had to go. Thrips. I tell ya. Nasty little things!
The tomatoes bloom like crazy, yet produce only a smattering of fruit. Come to find out, the Roma variety I bought at the local Home Depot, does not set fruit when the temperature gets above 95∘. We haven't seen less than 103∘ during the day for over a month. Go figure.
Guess what is loving the heat? That's right, the jalapenos!
The peppers were a bit small for bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers, so I made salsa instead.
seeded and finely chopped jalapenos (please wear gloves while handling the jalapenos)
finely chopped sweet yellow onion
diced tomatoes
diced cucumber without seeds
diced ripe mangoes
fresh cilantro (warning! a little goes a long way!)
fresh lime juice
maybe some salt? I can't remember.
However I made it, it was yummy and great on the Panko fried fish we had for dinner.
Ole!
