We are getting great harvests of Aji Amarillo and Thai peppers, as well as
orient wonder beans - like green beans, only 1 - 2 feet long. Okra is doing
great as well. Just cooked up a combination of green beans abd okra in

I've found that the purple beans need to be picked when they're quite small,
they get woody quick. This year I grew yellow beans, I can't remember the
variety and one variety of green beans I also can't recall. The green beans are
terrible for getting woody, probably made worse by the drought

Besides that air cleaner on the Weber being just wrong, there might be
trouble in hot temperatures. Needs to be able to draw cool air from the
front of the car. Other than that I'm sure the Weber is an upgrade.
