We here in Wisconsin seem to be 3 weeks behind last year. First every thing was under water, then we had 3 weeks of cold weather, That stunted every thing, we could not weed the beets and carrots, as the weeds had real strong roots & deep, when you pull them up, up came the veggie. So crop is smaller, All I could do so far is green beans. My peaches are just about ready, made black berry jam, but in the next few weeks I should have pears by the bushel with 3 trees. I`m O.K. with what I got so far, just a little late.
