Oct 2017

It was a cool cloudy wet Spring/Summer with highs on some days in July in the 60s. June was well below average with weeks in the 50s. As a consequence, we suffered slow growth/ripening and high fungal disease issues. I still got a good harvest, but some of my tomatoes were shot by September.
