15. I've got more peppers than usual. As a rule, I'm in your boat and muttering that I'll never grow

them again. I've especially got one mystery variety that was mismarked at the farm stand and not what I thought I was getting. It's producing more peppers than I've ever had. I think it might be a Cubanelle pepper, but since the wrong tag was on it, I can't be sure. I'm using it like a regular green pepper anyway. I noticed I've got lots of bees in the garden this year and maybe that's the difference. Last year I planted bee balm and some other perennials around the garden and they've exploded this year and I guess that's the main attraction. We also have lots of zinnias and marigolds out there. We've had an especially hot summer, too, and I know peppers like that.
