Alas, it seems we are already having late September in early August. Usually dry August is wet and cool. Just to the north in SW Virginia and Eastern Kentucky creek hollers they have been literally washed away
Everything is still growing but only the squash is actually producing much. Pole beans are lush but no beans. Cucumber plants are barely producing and are half as high up the trellis as normal
Even the grass is not growing. A wild flower called New York Iron weed would usually be on the order of 4 feet or so high and showing hints of the purple flowers to come. The plants are barely one foot high with no evidence of a bloom. The Joe Pye weed is blooming but also stunted.
We hear of farmers with failed yields........ that is here and now in my wife’s small garden
Sorry for your awful growing season. :(
We had a severe drought in 2012. I was managing a Garden Center at the time; it was brutal.
People didn’t give up, but it wasn’t pretty.
