I learned that we can grow late maturing slicing tomatoes here in the desert in spite of advice to grow short season varieties such as the favored early girl, just need to plant them in Jan. and have frost cloth on hand. I grew 2 big beautiful varieties both 100 days from seeding, loved them!

I learned not to plant pepper seedlings close to June and the 110 deg. temps, even with shade they will fry to a crisp.

I learned that the 2 dwarf tomato varieties I grew cannot take the heat even before it really set in, they fried while others near them thrived.
