How's Zones 3 & 4 Looking?

[barkeater]

Its looks like it may be a very poor year here. It has been very cool, wet, windy, and cloudy this summer. I just came back after 11 days vacationing in tha Adirondacks and expected more.

Worst off are the cucumbers, eggplants, and peppers. I may not even see a cuke or eggplant this year. I think the cool nights and cold, saturated soil is to blame.

I've got the same blossom set problems you hot climate gardeners have, but from the cold instead. Funny, locals say this is a normal summer, and it has been abnormally warm the past 7. My best fruit set and size is on the following:

Manitoba
Silvery Fir Tree
Sioux
Bloody Butcher
German Red Strawberry
Ramapo F1

I have NO fruit set on:

New Big Dwarf
Box Car Willie
Bulgarian #7

And, there is only 1 fruit per plant on the following:

Brandywine (2 plants)
Big Zac (2 plants)
Northern Lights
