The weather has been a major factor this year all over, it seems. The only thing that I have that is on schedule is the potatoes.

Weather’s been cool the last several days, but it’s supposed to heat up again next week. I have little buds on my Tromboncino Squash that look like females, but I haven’t seen any males. Hope I get flowers for both at the same time. I have two dinky cucuzza plants, and ten that aren’t up.
I have lots of green tomatoes-lemon boys, romas, yellow pear, tycoon, valley cat, and mystery tomatoes. Lots of lettuce, and swiss chard. I pulled up the non productive brussels sprouts. My gypsy peppers are loaded with blooms, and I need to transplant mucho nachos out of the greenhouse.
Also, armenian cukes and two more tromboncinos, and a bunch of zinnias. My Pentas are stil the size of pin heads. My ginger root I planted from the grocery store is starting to get growth above ground, as well as the roots. My potatoes have lots of top growth, not so much underground. I think I overwatered them.

I need to mow the yard, and my water bill was 86 dollars. We need rain. That is all from the TX Hill Country.

Potatoes grow in mostly chilly places.

With all the cow flatus causing globull warming, I am surprised you can get them to grow for you! hehehe
