Default Sick of all this rain and lack of sunshine...

My cool weather crops like onions, radishes, broccoli, and cauliflower are
suffering due to the lack of sunshine and my warm weather crops like my
peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes are just sitting there due to the cool
night temps.

About the only thing happy in my garden right now is the four heads of
romain.

Anyone else in the Midwest going through the same thing? Because the
weather in Illinois this years really stinks!


Wait until the weeds come out! I have so many weeds this
year I am overwhelmed. (We are dead nuts on the Pineapple
Express.)

All the water/snow/ice killed all but four of my potato onions.
All my garlic and onions loved it. I will make a better bed
for my onions next years that won't flood so much. I like
to make them a little recessed so that I can spot water and the
water won't run off, but it bit me this year with the Pineapple
Express.

Do you have good luck sprouting pepper seeds?
