Also - did your weather heat up really fast this spring? Customers brought in a few stunted things and poor germination on a lot of things this season because we went from mid-70’s where everthing was germinating just fine, to a week of blistering 90’s, which killed off a lot of seedlings and stunted the ones that managed to survive.
Winter squash and pumpkins took the biggest hit; I think the little seedlings fried as they were emerging. :( Even my FIL, who has farmed forever had germination/fruit set problems this spring.
The rain was relentless this spring so the planting was a week or two late but yes this was also followed by a week of 90’s.
Weird weather this year and last!
