For those of us here in the northeast, it's been a horrid spring and summer - rain, rain, rain, clouds, rain rain, rain, clouds and more rain.

For us, the net effect has been to absolutely devastate my crop yields. My greenbean harvest yesterday was just pitiful, my tomatoes are STILL stuck at flower (no June tomatoes here) my peppers are stunted and grumpy looking. And my poor herbs. Not only is the basil being bothered by some gnawing critters, it's just looking forlorn. The parsley is doing better, as is the fennel, oregano and Garlic.

The peas were just pathetic this year.

Glad I don't have to survive on this...
