I dont know if you have gotten much on your end KYH but it seems to be every other day here. It rained so heavy night before last we have 6 inches standing in one end of the garden. Lots of people havent been able to get the garden out at all around here because it has been so wet.
I LOVE the fact its not as hot as it was last summer but with so much rain and the cool nights things just arent growing well in our garden. Potatoes and cabbage seem to be doing fair and the strawberries are ok but everything else seems almost stunted. I go to the garden about twice a week and can hardly see any growth at all. Even my herbs are coming in sparse. The bugs seem to be the only thing thriving.
Last year we baked and everything withered and this year it just seems to be getting a slow start or something. I remember this time last year we were already having days at 98+ degrees.
Is anyone else having the same problem?

WE HAVE BEEN GETTING PROPER PORTIONS OF RAIN VS. DRY HERE AND I AM SO THANKFUL AS THE DROUGHT LAST YEAR WAS JUST HORRIBLE! LAST NIGHT THOUGH IT CAME A DELUGE, I MEAN TO TELL YOU, I THOUGHT FOR SURE OUR CREEK OUT BACK WOULD OVER FLOW! AND NOW IT TURNED UNSEASONABLY COOL. THE WEATHER HAS BEEN QUITE COOL THIS YEAR SO FAR, AS YOU MENTIONED IT DOES INDEED SLOW DOWN GROWTH IN THE GARDEN.

IT SEEMS THE BUGS ARE ALWAYS FAIRING WELL IN ANY GARDEN. I SHOOT MINE AWAY WITH A MIST OF WATERED DOWN DISH DETERGENT AND CAYENNE PAPPER IN A SPRAY BOTTLE EVERY DAY! (AS I DO NOT WANT ANY TOXIC CHEMICALS TO KILL MY FRIENDLY EARTHWORMS) I HAVE SEEN THE WORST DAMAGE DONE TO MY EGGPLANT PLANTS:mad: BUT THEY ARE HANGING IN THERE AND CONTINUE TO PUT ON NEW LEAVES!

I SURE HOPE THINGS WILL EVEN OUT FOR YOU WEATHER WISE REAL SOON JANIE! THE ONLY THING WE CAN HAVE CONTROL OVER IS OUR PATIENCE LEVEL AND THAT IS WHAT YOU NEED TO GET THRU THIS RAINY SEASON, IT WILL BE WHAT IT WILL BE WEATHER WISE I'M AFRAID! KAY-SERA-SERA AS THE OLD SONG GOES.

Jons Dad is not shy with the chemicals. But as soon as he dusts his garden it rains lol.
I so want to make Mama's salsa and marinara this year. I hope we get atleast get enough tomatoes for that.

I am going to be overwhelmed with tomatoes - worst comes to wosrt I'll send ya' some of mine!

I don't know if you read it in my other post but my pepper plants almost all turned out to be tomato plants.:o

I have only 4 pepper plants:( But lots and lots of rows of tomatoes:eek:

By the way I have already got squash on the vine! And I wish you could see Maddy's sunflower plants, they are gigantic!!!!

I am loving it!!!

I envy you.
Hmm..postage on tomatoes.
Yeah I had read where you had more tomatoes than you intended. Jons Dad showed me some tomato plants at the green house that would be easy to mistake for pepper plants.
