Peppers love heat and truthfully...I don't live that far from you and my peppers last year just kicked in and never stopped...At frost I was still picking peppers. They like plenty of water but my suggestion would be...water them well ...nice and deep and make them work for water ...the roots will start digging in and you won't have to water every day....I really don't think you need to shade peppers. .I just believe that one good solid watering is way better than surface watering every day. I live in Kerrville and my garden is doing well. I got a late start because of some health issues but it's going good now.. I picked my first mess of green beans yesterday...

Oh yeah, if I lived closer to the Apple store, I'd already have one.. and a MacBook air! (Though I am not a fan of the PC store.. OK, so the things that start sucking up space are Movies (HD especially), photos/videos, and certain video intensive games. Other files take up space but text files are pretty darn small. Maybe I sound like a cheapskate, but I can buy (and have) a 1 Terabyte passport for less than the price diff between the 64GB ipad air 2 and the 128GB. Given the low cost of storage, the price diff between the models is ridiculous. I am a very casual gamer. I am not recording music with Garage Band or any of the other music composition apps. Other than scrabble, I might play 1-2 games a year. I won't use the camera extensively and when I do, I won't store photos on the ipad. I think the 64GB will be fine. I actually think the 16GB will be fine but I'll go 64. :) Thanks so much everyone!!

It's a nice table! Dates from about 1920 or so...queen Anne legs rather than the center claw foot pedestal that was very common for tables in that era. It's nice....good....sturdy....will be lovely stripped and re done. It has antique value but not so much as value as real solid useable furniture!
