month), an early frost, and the heat show that the garden is not as
good as normal. Beans have stopped producing (normally they would
produce through at least the middle of June.). Yellow squash are
producing but not as normal as they normally would. Zukini are
producing nice fruit but below their normal production. White squash
are producing very little. Tomatoes are producing less than normal
but seem to still be setting fruit. Cucumbers are producing very
little.
PICTURES: Cucumbers planted very close and thined to about 4" inches
apart in upper right corner.
Beans planted about 4" apart produced about 1/2 gallon every 2 days
(normal about 1 gallon every 2 days)
Squash thinned to 6" apart. Yellow producing 4 to 8 fruit every 2
days (normally would get 3 times this amount) Yellow are below
tomatoes and bottom of row to right. Zukini about 1 to 2 large fruit
every 4 days (normally would get 3 to6) They are in middle of row to
right. White squash (only picked one to date) normally would get 3 to
6. They are in upper part of right row.
Probably should have separated the squash on the right and planted
them on opposite sides of garden.
