Mine are doing about the same but the peppers and cukes are doing fine. I think the cooler waether has them all messed up.

Agree1 Those three weeks of cold and rain have thrown off a lot of plants. I've been running into this at work where a lot of plants are just starting to flower now, which is pretty late, and there hasn't been a whole lot of growth.

lettuce, beans, sprouts, are doing pretty good. cukes are looking a little stunted.

Seriously....with rain on 27 out of 32 days....over 6" of rain in June.....over 4" of rain, thus far in July.....and very little sunshine.....what do you expect! Notsure

Tomatoes and most our seasonal eastern crops need SUN. And more than just an hour a day! It's only going to get worse. It's Bush's fault.

When I was in Maine last week..the gardens there were Horrible.....the corn was about 8 inches high and the Tomatoes looked like they were just put in out of the starter pots....talked to one lady at a roadside veggie stand to see if any blueberries yet and she said the veggie season is like 5 weeks behind and lots of failed gardens due to cold and rainy weather there all May and June...stuff is rotting from excessive rain

This warmer weather the last few nights will help things along. Sweet 100s are starting to take off. And I got a few small peppers. Picking cukes for about a week.
