Gardening is not an exact science. Hello, tell me something I don’t know. But it is always a learning experience. Why do you think farmers are never bored?

This year I have learned a lot about not planting at a certain time if the weather isn’t right. But this is an impossible lesson for me to learn as I’m eternally optimistic and still keep hoping it will turn nice any day.

The first 11 days of June were the coldest in history with daily highs running about 10 degrees below normal and rainfall almost an inch above normal.
