Awesome pepper plant you grew there, showcase quality, I gotta try a couple and hope they grow half as good as yours.

Your tomatoes look awesome. I've got a cherry tomato plant next to the house that's still alive for now, but everything else is has been dead for weeks. Does it frost and snow there?Im slightly north of 45N...

I grew 39 tomato plants last year but everything was destroyed by field mice and squash bugs. Any ideas on how to rid my garden of these naturally? The squash bugs were the worse, I would find 20+ on each tomato everyday and it seemed like no matter how often I sprayed with Neem Oil/dish soap/water they just kept coming back. I grew some Trinidad Scorpion peppers this year so I'm going to try a pepper/garlic/dish soap/neem oil spray and see if that helps. Any other ideas? Oh yeah from all of the heirloom types I grew, my purple Paul Robeson was the best tasting. Better than the Cherokee Purple, Brandywine, Granny Cantrell and everything else I grew. Get your hands on Paul Robeson if you can, they are amazing.

Here is the ugliest tomatoe you've ever seen. All of my brandywines from that plant have some sort of deformity on the bottoms - but none like this.
Looks normal from the top...
But turn it over and...
From what I've read, it could be a genetic mutation that affects 1 in 1000 seeds. I suspect though that it is from pushing the season and planting when too cold. Maybe I need to brush up on my hardening-off skills.
In any case, they're still big and tasty
