The weather lately has been atrocious! It has been overcast and rainy for weeks with only a day or two of sunshine and the forecast for the next 4-5 days is more of the same. My rain barrels are overflowing but my poor tomatoes, zucchini and cucumbers are crying for some warm weather and sunshine. The average temp for June was only about 62! So neither my garden nor the Victory Garden are flourishing right now but I have already ordered some seeds for Fall. This time around I am going to try Kale and Parsnips. From all my Googling it says to plant after the 4th of July, which isn't too far off. I'm going to throw in some leftover lettuce, radish, spinach and carrots too. I figure I have the seeds so I shouldn't let them go to waste.
My dwarf snow peas are still growing like crazy. They finally bloomed and ow they won't stop. I finally pulled up the trellised peas. They didn't do so hot, but when I think about it I only planted a few seeds whereas with the dwarfs I planted about 20 or so. Maybe I'll try the trellis peas later this season again to see how they do.
