After a month or so here is how my patio garden is doing. The Zucchini set on a few but when they got to 3" they just sat there and rotted. The cherry tomato has LOTs of blooms but so far only a few tomatoes setting on. The cucumber LOTS of blooms but NO cucumbers. The 2 peppers have blooms also but no sign of peppers yet. I am just NOT a gardener and I won't do it again but it did get me out of the house. Now my beautiful Hibiscus is another story. I Don't have to do a thing for it to be beautiful. DSCN6466

Your summer might just have been too dang hot for your garden.

But it all looks really pretty.

And as you said, it got you out of the house, all is not lost.

But the plants look beautiful. I know it’s disappointing when you’re wanting fresh veggies, maybe it just takes a little longer?

Just thinking out loud here, but I know around here (where we know a thing or two about heat!), things like cukes, zucchini and tomatoes don’t do very well with producing veggies when it’s very hot. I bet that excessive heat you had earlier this summer did them in.

Kinda like in the spring, where the ground temp has to be so warm or the seed just sits and rots.
