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.


we have garlic and chives which are pretty
bullet proof for early season goodies.


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


haven't planted anything other than some onion
sets a few weeks ago and they seem to be growing.

too busy with other things lately. we have
plants now for putting out in the gardens, but i
think it is still too cold at night. next week
probably.

we're going to try potatoes this year. i am
not really a big fan of potatoes but oh well...

Here it is late May and we woke up to 60F this morning at 0530. Strange
weather for SE Texas but we've been having lots of mornings like this
and hardly any rain to speak of.

Gardens are rampant as we water frequently on this pile of clay, last
two nights we have gotten almost a half inch of rain that was a big help.
