RE: From the Gardens of Que Sera, Sera and Beyond...June 2018
Well, our weather is a challenge, as is the soil here. Everything has to be amended and sped up to make up for the fast moving growing season. We had our rainy spell , now it's drought time with near 100's. There's a storm coming up from the Gulf of Mexico, though, which is supposed to be bringing some cooler days and some rain. After June, I can still get some hardy tomatoes, but the heat does affect the texture of the fruit. Peppers don't mind the heat. Rosemary, oregano and basil do okay...I'll see how the sage does this year. I've never had much luck getting it to stick around; this is the first success I've had with it. The parsley seems ok, too. The season is almost over, for a bit. We'll do a second planting theoretically aimed at fruits being harvested about the time when the weather starts to cool off (hahaha!) a bit.
