It's a wonder that anything grows these days

We had the worst spring since weather records have
been kept in the Great Pacific Northwest. It wasn't until
the last of May when things started to turn around.
I usually have most of garden planted by the end of April.
It's hard to plant seeds or transplants when the soil is
mud and the skies are dark grey day after day or the
night time temps are still hovering around freezing.
My garden this year is a "half garden" as many things never
got around to be planted. Timing is everything when it
comes to getting a harvest. We've had some good stretches
of typical summer weather this July and early August but
this last half of August has me concerned as we've had
two rounds of very wet and cool weather, something you
might see sometime after Labor Day. While it still seems
likely that I might get some sort of harvest, this screwed up
weather is really raising havoc with the food supply not
just in my back yard but in many places around the country.
It's a feast or famine, flood or drought. Dealing with the
extremes seems to be the norm.
