>> then I'll show you whining
Oy!! We can whine a duet.
Late, cold wet spring.
Cool to cold summer.
If this is global warming, I'll try something from Column B.
(Actually, I know we're seeing 'changes' more than gross warming.)
And I can't complain about tomatoes because this was my first year even trying. I brought 4 1-quart plants hoime from the nirsery before ngihts were over 50, and the owner looked at me like "YOU'RE an optimist!"
I expected those plants to laugh at me and stay green all summer. Instead they just laid there for 2 months doing nothing, then shot vines all over the yard, and then some actually RIPENED despite my expectaations.
Sungold, pretty good.
Stupice, not much yield but they ripened.
Supersweet 100 never got past the "just laid there" phazse and ripened maybe 3 ping-pong balls before it disapeared under the Sungold Tidal wave.
Next year, Sungold, Stupice, Glacier, Oregon Spring, Manitoba and maybe Matina. From seed, yet! (Maybe strat out under plastic to beat the long, slow, cold wet spring.
What should I whine about when they grow despite my darkest expectations?
"Tomatoes give me heartburn!"
My roses were very sad this year because I didn't water much.
