I have pepper plants that should be 3' tall and loaded with peppers that are only 6" tall and barren.....
the tomatoes make blooms, that wither and die two days later...NO zuchini, either...I am heart broken..it is a lot of painful work for me to put in the garden each year and when this happens it is twice the pain....

wondering how others are fairing this year with all of the really wacky weather across the country....

willing to trade fabric for a bushel of picking cukes...sigh....
