Just a few peppers.

The other day I bought 4 pepper plants on a semi-impulse purchase; my reasoning is that homemade salsa will require it of course!  They are:  Banana, Poblano a.k.a. Ancho, "Mild Jalapeño", and "Salsa pepper", which is some sort of hybrid marketed as a salsa ingredient.  I don't want super hot peppers, just a little heat.  The poblano and "mild jalapeño" have Scoville numbers around 1000-1500 which is not super hot.

Well, the three most recent planted IR and the remaining KB didn't survive transplanting to the garden.  So I planted the 4 peppers in their spots.  I forgot to check if the one other IR was still alive. Probably not.  So no IRs this year for breeding purposes.

The pumpkins didn't look too good today - pretty wilty despite the moist ground...I drenched 'em with water but I don't have high hopes.  It's getting hot out there.  Summer heat is beginning and if the plants aren't well established by now they are gonna have a hard time.

On the other hand, in the home garden several of the plants are growing well, especially the IRxCP hybrid.

In one of the other community garden plots someone has a bunch of huge tomato plants.  Like chest high, big and lots of flowers.  Made me feel inadequate...Although they are planted too close together for my taste, so I give myself points for careful layout.  :)
