I had such high hopes for this year. Remember all the seeds I bought in early spring?
Unfortunately, the sun has not been cooperative and our garden is, yet again, less than bountiful. We did have a few radishes early on…the lettuces became salads…the pear and cherry tomatoes are tasty…the cilantro and chives have added a kick to the salads…and Squeak has thoroughly enjoyed the fresh catnip!
But overall it’s been dismal. A lot of my seeds didn’t even come up – or they made a showing, but with stunted growth (peppers, corn, long radishes, even the zucchini!)
The tomato plants are tall, but not bearing much fruit.
The sunflowers are going strong, but the nasturtiums are getting weaker by the day.
On a good note - the pumpkin patch is full and robust, but will we have enough sun to turn them (all FOUR of them) orange?!
It's a good thing we're not farmers...maybe next year...

so how do you get your plants to wink at you? do you flirt with them? that`s funny! you guys did a great job but if even the zucchini didn`t grow, you know something is wrong, which of course, as you said, it`s the lack of cooperation from the sun. wish we could send you some. we`re going to have a nice week-in the 80s every day. the last 2 weeks it was consistenly the 90`s, close to 100 at times, a bit much.
had a great time in tokyo!
need to wake steve up and go on my cat feeding mission. wondering if the pregnant kitty had her babies. i didn`t see her last time i went, looked everywhere but no luck. hoping someone took her so she could have her kittens in someone`s home but i doubt it. wish i could take her but can`t risk getting evicted.
have ag reat weekend!
