Seems like a good time for a seasonal reckoning here! I’m a second year gardener, finishing up my second summer on the Puget Sound, so almost everything is new to me. I tend to ramble so I’ll try to thread this.
My particular bit of the world was rainy and cool for a long time this spring, then stayed cool and dried out all summer. We had one short heat wave in the mid 80s (I *know*) but that’s it, it’s back to crispy and cool now. The vast majority of my beds have drip irrigation, so the garden is ok.
The only thing I tried to grow this year that just utterly failed, no second chance, was #onions. I planted seeds in compost that was too rough and too cold, and I didn’t react in time to replant. Last year’s onions, in a different bed, grew like mad but then flowered early. Lots of lessons learned, and why not, I’ve ordered some fall onion sets. Onwards!
