Apartment Garden Update 4

The Cayenne Uprising! Even though my jalapenos flowered first it was too hot and they dropped their flowers (almost 100 °F or 38 °C) Now that its a little cooler the ones that survived are showing off. Aphids are a constant battle. Always checking under the leaves for them. Finaly got my first tomato flower but still no fruit. Cilantro and dill all but died. Rosemary is slow but actually growing. After the video I topped the basil and gave it a trim. I want to encourage it to bush out, not up. I don't need it being to top heavy. I'll have another update when we harvest our first pepper!

I am in North Texas... 100 -110 nearly every day. I can't tell if I am over or under watering. I don't know what is too much sun or not enough sun. Ack!!! :-/ I've had decent luck with most everything beside my cilantro. Keeps dyin' on me!

@IamJessika Do your pots have drainage holes? If so, in that heat you should be able to overwater, the soil won't stay saturated for long. I am not trying cilantro this year. If you find the secret for it let me know!!!

[IamJessika]

What kind of soil are you using and how often are you watering? I have the same setup and am a first timer. Any tips for rail gardeners like myself?? :)

@IamJessika I am using Miracle Grow for vegetables. I live in Orlando FL so I have to water EVERYDAY because of the 95 degree daily temperatures we have been having. My lettuce is having a hard time in the heat this year.

Your aloe vera plant looks amazing, as well as your basil plant.
