Last year was an extreme heat filled summer with record breaking temperatures. My figs loved it as long as I keep them hydrated.

But this year, we at best have only had a few days in the upper 90's and no temps in the triple digits. The summer has been filled with more 80's and a few upper 70's as a high. I worry that my main crop will not ripen. I have already lost my brebas crop to a possum or the tornado.  I only noticed the brebas were gone after the May 31 tornado that came through St. Louis. Funny, you seem to spend more time outside when you have no power.

Even my tomatoes are struggling this year from the lack of heat. Varieties suited for our hot weather are slower to ripen in this cool summer. I have the largest pimiento peppers this year. I'm waiting for them to ripen.

Now I wait with high hopes that the main crop will have time to ripen with these lower temperatures. Any of you in the same boat?

Oh yes in exact same boat a few 90s mostly 80s some 70s and for next 7-10 days forecast is for high 70s. Had more than i care for 50s at night.
But each season i take dated pictures of when main crop sets on plants and gives me good idea when they will ripen.
Ours will ripen and yours should too if there in pots on a hot surface.
