| My cherry tree yielded no cherries this year. My organic pumpkin plants are all wilting. No tomatoes from my organic tomato plants. No beans or peppers from those organic plants. Heck, even my grass hasn't needed cutting in 2 months! I know we had a harsh winter but is that the reason? |

| Not so much the winter but has it been a cool spring? I know it's been a little cooler here than normal. Even though last June was extremely wet, it seems everything is even more behind this year, esp. the cucumbers. |
|
| The wetness has caused some issues especially with the peppers. The spring had extreme temperatures in both directions no one seemed to enjoy it, except my cucurbits didn't seem to mind the cold as long as it wasn't too consistent. |

| My peppers are looking better than they were last summer, with it so wet last June, but only the Hinkelhatz (PA Dutch variety cold-weather tolerant) have a couple pods. The tomatoes look great - but are slow to set fruit. The cucurbits are really slow - zukes just this week, yellow squash (Early Prolific - not this year!) are still a couple days away from picking the first one, and bush cukes maybe next week. Little Leaf cukes are even slower. 1 tiny cantaloupe the size of a ping-pong ball, and the watermelon plants have stalled out at about 8" diameter. Time to plant the fall crops now... |
