It rained off and on several times today, with small bouts of sunshine in between long stretches of cloudy skies. Good conditions for the garden, and especially for the small plants trying desperately to establish themselves in their struggle between life and death.
Still no sign from those 2002 seedlot Summer Squash, but I expected them to take a week or two, at best. Still, if they don't show by the end of the week, I'll replant that section of row with fresh seeds, or even better with transplants if I can find them. I am pushing slightly past the deadline on the fall stuff, but running slightly ahead on the winter stuff. I'll pray for a cool fall, but with a late frost. Hey, it never hurts to pray, right?
So, here is the overview. The tomatoes look really good, save for one, which is not gonna make it, and won't be replaced. Just for grins, I had a spot left over on the end of the row, so I put a few seeds in just to see what would happen. The Cucumbers are going gangbusters. The Melons look great, but better get a move on to beat the winter. The potatoes should show in the next couple of weeks. I planted the Celery too early, but I have lots of seeds to replant later. The newer seedling, Cauliflower and Broccoli were pretty weak upon transplanting, and it was tough on them with sun and heat right after transplanting, but I think these moderating temperatures and rain now happening will allow them to get a grip.
