Agree with the crazy, negative gardening weather. I can't complain about this week - it's been gorgeous but rain in the forecast starting Monday. I've got tomatoes in big tubs and they're doing ok. I got 3 small "Sweet 100's" in my MOUTH yesterday! Nothing yet from the bigger tomatoes except blooms. And - so far - I'm afraid to say this out loud....no stinkin' stink bugs. Not holding my breath that it'll be that way for long because I did see one a couple weeks ago, but it wasn't flying and it sat very still for me to squish it. Maybe all the rain killed off the eggs? I dunno - but it would be a miracle if they had a bad year. A miracle that I would love!
I had potatoes up and looking good, but they drowned. Green beans drowned. Corn isn't looking real happy, but it's hanging in there. I need to spend a couple days in there doing some more mulching and re-planting. I'm going to get some barn soil and side dress the tomatoes with that. I broke down and bought some pepper plants so I'll be planting those this evening.
I haven't given up...just think I'm going to have to figure out some alternative gardening plans.
