Zone really doesn't matter in summer growing.

=============================================
Guess you will have to say we are in the soggy zone!

We had 2 nights last week that were less than 2 blankets, the only 2 so far 
this year, and after being outside as much as I ever am, I got a sunburn on 
July 20.

Found a place on solid ground to run the mower on Sunday, by the time I got 
done baling yeatyerday it was raining again and it looks like it will do so 
for a week...........again!

So dark and wet that beetgreens got too tall for Kevin the produce guy to
have much interest in, so the pigs are loving them, wonder if they will 
still think they are good after 50 bushels. Fortunately the peas were all on 
trellis
so they did not rot and 8-10 bushells have been shelled and frozen.


We will not have squash and pumpkins as 3 seedings rotted in wet ground 
before germinating, anyone got good ideas on a seed treatment for future 
years?

This is a report, and not a complaint, but I do hope others are having a 
better year.
