How is everyone's garden this year? Getting ready to pick my first tomatoes...
- Thread starter Mr. Potter
- Start date
So far it's been ok. Nights have been pretty cool so I think that may have stunted some things. Lots of blossoms on the cukes. I have small green tomatoes, Big Jim Green Chiles look nice and healthy and blossoms are starting on them. Cabbage has about baseball to softball size heads so should be ready in a few weeks.
My mom's beds in SW PA are not doing well. They have had some down right cold temps at night, 36º in late June is even odd for Somerset, PA.
Here in Texas we’ve done pretty well this year. Lots of tomatoes, but now that the temperatures are above 90, I expect production to fall way back. Have pickled 8 quarts of dill cucumbers, and about the same of bread and butter jalapeños. We’ve gotten plenty of zucchini’s and squash which we’ve frozen for winter. Long beans are as prolific as ever ( about two poun per day). We’ve been getting more romaine than we can consume, but it also doesn’t do too well once it gets hut. I may try another planting under the trellis the cucumbers grow on as the soil is partially shaded by the vines.
herbs and Asian vegetables continue to do well…..they seem to like the heat.

Everyone seems well ahead of us. It seemed like an exceptionally cool spring in Lower Slower but thing should be popping in the garden soon.
I planted before Memorial Day here in SW PA and I'm finally seeing little green tomatoes starting on my plants. We're getting some much needed rain today.
