I got rain and hail last night. I have not built up nerve to go look at the garden yet. The hail was small, about pea size, but we had a good wind with it. I am sure the weeds lived through it.

One half inch of rain in yesterdays blow up storm, and we went from 91 to 70 in an hour, it was nice. Nothing got too wet.

The tomatoes are well pruned this morning. I got 1.45 rain and hail mix yesterday evening. It came down hard for a while. I have seen the garden look much worse from hail.

Just cut garlic scapes this past weekend and pickled them. No frost since I planted Memorial Day weekend, but it's been cool overall and the peppers and tomatoes are slow. Had plenty of rain. A few hot days and everything will take off

Hey Les, how often do you till in manure? Found out manure raised my phosphorous levels off the chart and I got the high levels from manure and miracle grow. I do have more of a clay soil though.

Nice side hustle you got!!

I add a little here and there every year, and two spade fulls for every tomato plant. I am pro-phosphorous

Nice action!!

Just shows what 300 miles further north can do for a growing season. Typically, I start planting directly sometime after Mother's Day, although a buddy of mine got whacked with this tomatoes when we had a late frost around May 21. I'm still getting a few things put in yet, will scrounge a couple of stores today for marked down plants (mostly tomatoes, maybe some peppers) that they're trying to get rid of before they tear down their "greenhouses" around the 4th of July.

We had a very cool and moist early May so gardens and native plants were later than normal, about 10 days to two weeks. Since about June 15th we will have had 6 days or more over 90 with even 70s at night so things are moving rapidly now. The heat unit plants are really growing. The photo period plants are not far below normal but still not normal growth stages. We can see it as much in the insect populations as the plants. Many of the over wintering insects that are in the soil over winter are coming later due to cold soil temps in May. The cool soil temps also impacted the germination of plants like green beans for me too. I replanted my first planting wich was put in about May 15.

Just put in some summer squash, zucchini and cucumbers today in some open spots of the garden. Should have them producing right till they freeze out. Had poor germination on my winter squash and cucumbers. Pepper plants are slow growing thus year. Southern mn.

Watered my home garden last night. Two more mid 90 degree days coming with not much rain. Wow the mosquitoes exploded the last two days. There were almost none until a couple storms and the heat. Will need some protection if going out evenings. I am going to look into one of those screen hats. Good for using in other venues as well.

long pants , long sleeve shirt with collar couple sizes too big , tucked in but billowed out a bit at the waist collar turned up , bandana to cover opening at front of collar , gloves put on before the shirt , wide brim hat with mosquito netting cinched up around collar

also ear plugs or ear buds with music , because the noise will want to make you itch 100 skeetters next to your ears will drive you nuts

tomato picking time , get out pick a couple bushel and come back in and take a cold shower

First picking of peas. Can tell we have had a cooler than normal spring and June. The brassicas are really doing well. Lot of big broccoli heads starting and early cabbage is forming heads. Peppers on the other hand are growing very slowly. I have 4 sweet corn plots. The early 67 day stuff is pollinating like crazy right now. The rest are scattered out over a month. Tomatoes are looking good and am spraying with fungicide weekly. Hope that works well. The biggest potato vines I have ever had. Hope to get some tubers too. The organic approved product I have used the last two years have really worked. The years before I could not keep ahead of the beetles.
Some big setbacks, horrible strawberries and raspberries. Currents and cheeries look good.My radishes were not good either. Sweet potatoes are growing well.
