About the only thing that did really well was basil and tomatillos, and a year you can't grow tomatillos, it's probably raining fire from the sky and there are spectral horsemen galloping overhead.

For me it is the brassica family.<br /><br />Cheryl green beans, lettuce, radish and turnips are easy. The hard part might be getting them past the seedling stage safe from the slugs and grasshoppers. It's on my list to get some floating row covers to get things past the seedling stage Christopher C.

Yellow squash did. Tomatoes not so well. Nothing from the German Queens and little from Mr. Stripeys. Brandywide did ok as did my early girls until the Wild Turkeys found them.

It turned all the cucurbits into gray mush. Maybe it was a blessing in that it has saved us from the usual monotonous overproduction of cucumbers and squash.

I was probably in the middle of a chore at the time too. The male turtle in these pictures has the most yellow in his shell I have ever seen. He is quite striking.Christopher C.
