HOT! DRY! Groundhogs ate everything the weather didn’t kill! The only thing I have left from my little patch of cucumber is one plant. I have 5 volunteer tomato plants - one has two or three tiny fruits. Three volunteer green beans - scraggly. Lots of various pepper plants which are just sitting there.
My peach tree did not set a single blossom. Not even one. Same with my apple trees - but they have not done squat since planted, so just no surprise there.
Volunteer potato plants - we shall see what they do.
Herbs are good.
We got the first roll of chicken wire today - I need much more but have to buy a bit at a time. I have worked out an easier way to do my below the surface chicken wire, so we will try to put it all in this fall. Till then - well, I won’t cry over spilled milk. I think I had a few wheat plants pop up - which would be neat, but I am not sure that is what they are.
Hot dry, but no groundhogs. I have had better gardens in year’s last.
This was the first year our peach trees set fruit. Lousy squirrels picked almost all of them and carried them all over the place.
They are now pushing up daisies. Peaches are very hard to grow here, because a spring frost usually kills them. It was very disappointing to have a nice crop going, and then have the critters do them in, but that’s the way it goes.
