Northern summers are usually pretty nice.

No rain here in about 10 days. The water collection tanks ran out days ago. I don't like paying for water when the free stuff is better for your plants anyways. Spring we had way too much rain and now hardly any. Garden has done well but still lots of time left. Best year for cantaloupes well over 20 and one top the scale at 6.6 lbs. So if I had to say today the garden has been very successful over past years

You are on city water?

[Broncosfan]

Yes we have city water even though we live in the country. Coal mining from years didn't help the water quality so now when you build you have no choice but to hook up to water if its available. A lot of people have cisterns and on dry spells they fill tanks at the water company office. Its not unusual to see a pickup with a water tank in the back. I need to add at least 2-3 tanks to my water collection system and then I would have close to 1000 gallon capacity which should make it through the dry spells. Right now the collection system only collects from 25% of my roof.

The thought of paying for water makes me shudder.

I've never had anything but wells.

It has rained like crazy around here, and that was without a tropical storm hitting land. It finally relented for a while, but it is sure to pick up again.

My onions were a fail. Tomatoes still green.

I would have thought your tomatoes would be ready by now. We have had plenty enough to sell to a couple of people and eat all we can. I have tomatoes fro lunch and dinner almost everyday. That reminds me I need to go pick the Supersweet 100's it won't be long and we will be dehydrating those for winter salads.

Hawgrider I am sure glad you reminded me about the Cherokee Purple there one of my top produces.

Plenty of time yet. ;) The first sweet corn just hit round here normally its available first of July for the early strains

[Innkeeper]

Sadly my maters didn’t make it this year I think something i need to remove all the soil in my planters and replace it.

I dumped out my planters onto a tarp last fall, and added lime this spring.
The tomatoes and peppers had black rot spots last year.
