What's Happening In My Garden
![]() I remember that last Spring’s weather was coolish for a long time, but it seems that this year’s coolness has lasted longer, now that it’s already June. Daytime temperatures are up into the mid 80s, but with night-time temperatures still down in the low 60s, summer veggies like tomatoes and squash have thrived. Dare I suggest that another planting of tomato and pepper transplants and bean, cucumber and squash seeds might be a good idea, betting on the possibility of this coolness extending another couple of weeks or even a month so they can get established before the “real” heat of summer arrives?
