This is the first year since I've been here that is cool and rainy all the time. Usually it was in the 80. Today its 60 degrees but Wednesday will be around 90... so from cool and rainy it will be hot and humid. My tomatoes are growing,turnips are still very small,peppers the same. All is green,no flowers yet. We had a beautifull lilac blooms and then the rain came. Half of the flowers didn't bloom and they just got rotten. I am not complaining about the rain. It will be so hot here soon and dry and i will spend hours watering everything. But for now is two days of sun and some clouds and then a week or two of rain and clouds.
When Dan will have all his harvest picked up and eaten I will be still waiting for my veggies to grow...

I've spaced my plantings, though the first corn is about a month ahead of the next. (I started it 3 weeks before easter.)

Looks like we have a straight week of rain in north Idaho. I'm thinking of putting on mud clothes and planting some more things.

That's how it was last week, started monday and was on and off till sunday, it's good though because it hadn't rained in about 3 weeks.

So some of my straight neck squash decided it was going to mature 15 days early, they're 33 days old and aren't suppose to mature till 48
