I had Fawteen's experience last year. Three plantin's of beans rotted in the ground. Had a few pepper but nothin' to boast about. The sumer was so wet and cold that I never had a tomato ripen until September and the frost got the plants with more green 'maters still hangin' on 'em than ever ripened, and they were puny.
This year things are goin' great guns. Everything flourishin'. Beans are gettin close to run out, but we've got a pile of 'em laid back. Peppers? There's one plant that has never shown so much as a blossom, the rest are boomin'.
'Maters? A couple things goin' on there. It's been as ideal tomato weather up here as a gardener could ask for this year, but somethin's got goin' on around our neighborhood that they grew and grew, but set there for the longest time before they finally started to ripen. Everybody's been complainin' about it.
Bigger issue around here is what happened (and we don't know -- he ain't talkin')) at the greenhouse where folks have been gettin' their plants for years. Nice plants. Whatever went on(seed supplier messed up, disgruntled employee . . .???) it's more than one single or simple mistake.) I usually put out just six tomatoes - two cherries, two salad size and two beefsteaks. Well, I got tomatoes. All one variety, on the large end of the salad-size range. A fella at work buys squash plants there, bought two each of five different varieties. Out of all that, what he got out of what he wanted were two plants, Hubbards, and they were each labeled as someting else. All the rest grew up to be zucchinis.
They've been around so long and have always sold great plants, most folks (at least us home-size gardeners) are willin' to give them a try next year. We can only hope they fixed whatever happened. But I got an idea his commercial folks may be lookin' elsewhere.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
