We all knew it had to happen eventually, the gray dismal rain and cold that was haunting us for far too long had to make way for it's bigger and better sibling, summer. The arrival of all the mosquitoes, black flies, heat and humidity has been a a kick in the pants for our garden. We have peas, spinach, lettuce, beets, string beans and 2 spindly under performing thus far, tomato plants.
The peas with their new fence installed have exploded. I don't mean, wow all of them are sprouting and starting to grow leaves, I mean they have grown 4+ inches in a week. Ya. Some are slowing down but some are eating their wheaties and gunning for 8 inches of growth in a mere 2 weeks. Maybe all they needed was a little sunshine.
