We’re getting plenty of rain here but not enough sun. My tomatoes are not flourishing.

We’re at the opposite end of the spectrum. We’re not getting any rain, lots of sun & high temps.

The squash is about done. Green beans are slowing way down.

I dug up about 2/3 of the taters & found about 2 potatoes per plant — I’m happy as a first time tater farmer.

And...we are starting to build up quite an inventory of tomatoes.

On the radar this morning, I noticed a nice small group of thunderstorms about 80 miles to the SW that, if they remain on their present course, we might be blessed with much-need rain.

Mine seem to be on hold too, Trisha. I’ve been reluctant to fertilize because I prefer a liquid and with all the rain we’ve had it’ll just be wasting product.

My garden was put in earlier this season, but the plants are looking smaller than last season based on photos I took around this same time last year.

BUT - I predict sunny, hot days ahead! :)

We have the opposite problem here in north Florida; not enough rain but lots of sun. Can you send some of the rain our way? :)
