Definitely been a weird year! Started off cold then jumped right to hot weather and no rain which was tough on my plots at the community garden as there is only a couple of community hoses. I buried some terracotta pots to help with water, but lost a couple things and had to reseed a few items. Zucchini and corn germinated spotty due to the drought. It wasn't until after the 4th that we had some rain. I have quite a decent amount of large tomatoes- but they are just starting to turn red. We had our first BLT of the season last night with tomatoes and lettuce from the garden on homemade sourdough- YUM! Peppers are short- but LOADED. Beans going crazy! Snow peas didn't start until the end of June and produced almost through July and just started again. Delicata doing great! I've made several batches of pickles and giving some cucumbers away. Powdery mildew starting to show on my cucumbers and just took out my luxury pie plant. Overall- while slow to start- I've been fairly happy. My husband is a little salty that we haven't had a single zucchini this year.
