Strange, usually they do about the same. Are they not developing or is the plant sick?

I’ve grown peppers every year and had good luck, they going from a good green leaf to a yellow and welting, all 35 of them, not a watering problem nor soil just not going to be a year for them. I think it has a lot to do with the smokey air and filtered sun because of it.

Another example of Cognitive Dissonance...
There is no book that can explain away the plain fact that Islam has been promoting violence and subjugation of "infidels" for hundreds of years.

But there is one book that explains why...The Qur'an

Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But God knoweth, and ye know not.
— Qur'an 2:216

Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them." This because they contended against God and His Apostle: If any contend against God and His Apostle, God is strict in punishment. Thus (will it be said): "Taste ye then of the (punishment): for those who resist God, is the penalty of the Fire." O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in hostile array, never turn your backs to them.
— Qur'an 8:12-15

Prophet! Rouse the believers to wage war. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will subdue two hundred: if a hundred, they will subdue a thousand of the disbelievers: for these are a people without understanding.
— Qur'an 8:65

But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem;
-- Qur'an 9:5

Fight those who believe not in God and in the Last Day, and who do not forbid what God and His Messenger have forbidden, and who follow not the Religion of Truth among those who were given the Book, till they pay the jizyah with a willing hand, being humbled.
— Qur'an 9:29

Doreena fooled again...

Do not waste your time reading this propaganda. To understand Islam, learn instead about (1) the Quran (2) the life of Mohammad (he was not a man of peace), and (3) Islam's subsequent history as a rapacious and bloody political doctrine. Some understanding of Islamic law as set forth in the Sharia (Reliance of the Traveler) is also useful to understand why Muslims in the West push for the laws they do. Also read The Closing of the Muslim Mind. This tells why Islam for a period of time was progressive, using logic and free will, building on Greek philosophy (Mu'tazilis), and how that was slowly lost when scholars found that predetermination (alAsh'ari d. 935) was more consistent with the Koran. It seems consistent that Muslims do better when they ignore or rationalize away much of the Koran.
 
The youth of today need to look at video of the Middle East prior to the Taliban. Women wearing modern clothes, driving, being educated.

The women were not always in Burkas.
 
My experiments (Beans and cukes) are coming up, so I tried some radishes and English peas today. We will see if anything comes of them...I seed save, so these are last year’s seeds, no real loss if nothing works.

Radishes are a very short crop. About 30 days to maturity .
 
I'll be doing some sugar peas towards the end of August or beginning of September. The heat will help them pop up out of the ground, but hoping it will cool off some after that since they like the cooler weather. It's just been a strange year with snow twice last year, then winter right into summer. Hope we get some kind of fall weather.

Yes, it would be nice to have fall and spring weather again!

Pumpkins have begun to do really well and still getting the same produce that I have been getting. . . Patty squash, butternut, eggplant, okra, peppers, brown Crowder and purple hulls.
I have gotten so far behind on shelling my beans that i have them laid out on towels to just dry completely, pod shell and all. Plan is to just thresh and blow off the paper shells. Never done it that way so it's an experiment. With everything going on if you miss just on one day, and I have been missing a few last week, its easy to get behind unfortunately. If it doesn't work, I'll load them all up and head down to my buddy's place. He has one of those commercial pea shellers.
On the up side I am about to start picking more of my watermelon.
We are in need of rain badly. . . It's been all around us the last few days but we haven't had even a sprinkle. Maybe tomorrow if not I will need to water again.
 
About all I have left in the greenhouse are tomatoes and carrots. There are loads of tomatoes still, but if I don’t get them picked ASAP they will start to turn bad. Our big diesel truck broke down last night so was out pretty late getting it to a shop. There’s always something competing for the time each day.

You never know how the season is going to be, wet or dry. We had a wet summer last year and this year. 2016 had one dry spell. I knew an old timer that had some sort of beans she brought from her old homestead she just dried then whole, then shelled and cooked the beans later. Seemed to work for her but they looked funny. the outside looked like spotty, dried mold? But the beans inside were good.
