   My attemp at solarization of an unused raised bed has finally started to show some results.  The clear plastic did allow one lonely weed to start, but once the Wettness of June gave way to the Sun of July it withered in one big hurry.  Well rotted leaves tilled in this fall should make for fertile soil next spring.

   The four tiny serranos are setting a few fruit, but nothing out of the ordinary.  The four once pathetic cayennes have taken off quite nicely.  18" tall and over a dozen fruits each.  Well worth the 99 cents each.

Scott... I'll be using weed mats next year for sure... KCK
