This time of year everything generally starts to slow down to nothing. The chiles still grow, but they won't bloom again until it cools down a little. The only thing that will bloom in this heat is Okra. Here - at this time - once I harvest I pull up everything but the chiles and begin to prepare to replant for fall and winter.

You are lucky to live in a milder climate. Sometimes I hate how hot it gets here - but when I'm growing all winter long - I figure it's worth it :-)
