Happy official first day of summer, everyone! I always feel like I'm a couple of steps behind... oh, maybe that's because our temps are still barely hitting 70F ? Ah well, it is what it is, I'm afraid! I do finally pretty much have everything planted, and because pretty much everything was started either in the house under lights or in packs in the GH, once the plants were put out the garden kind of seemed to spring to immediate life! (I planted zucchini yesterday that already had a baby fruit on it...) It seems that wherever we garden there are problems -- too cold, too much heat, too dry, too wet, too many critters, not enough bees, and on and on.
Gina, every year is a learning experience, no matter how long we've been at it! Your garden area looks great; I wish I could offer some advice about growing your peppers, because they are one of my favorite crops, but our growing conditions are so different that I really don't know what to tell you. My best guess would be that they might need more water; most plants seem to be able to survive even a lot of heat, as long as they have enough water.
Chelle, I was wondering where our hummingbirds have gone -- they must be at your house!
So far the only thing I am harvesting is asparagus (not quite sick of eating it yet, but getting close), and humongous "green onions' from onion sets that I planted late last summer -- they look more like leeks!
One thing for sure -- I'm running low on salsa, so I hope I have a good tomato harvest this year!!
