It's been an OK year so far, but the mild weather lately has me a bit nervous -- after last year's cold summer I was really hoping for a nice hot summer this year, and while it's been more pleasant and comfortable to work outside, the mild weather's slowing down our nightshades, okra, squash, etc.

We've had some heavy bean beetle damage to snap beans, but hoping that the parasitic wasps are starting to get those under control... we're getting some downy mildew on the early cucumbers and muskmelons... but otherwise everything's pretty healthy. Just want some more heat!!
