Was the same story in PDX. Although, with the recent hot weather, stuff has finally started growing. Hopefully same for you.
Tomatoes were sickly (small, rusty) but now growing pretty fast, flowers appearing, some small fruit on one plant, they are still awfully short.
Lettuce has been healthy enough but wouldn't grow, now they are growing.
Carrot tops have been bolting big-time, I don't know much about carrots so have no sense of what to do.
Peas yellowed up and withered as soon as it got hot. I have no luck with peas or beans.
Strawberries were and are doing well.
Basil just like the tomatoes, finally starting to grow and get healthy looking.
Hops flourishing, it is just ornamental for us.
Been an awfully crappy spring, but looks like summer is finally here and the garden has a chance to amount to something.
I am sure glad I don't depend on the garden to eat.
The weather here in Seattle has been so bad that really, nothing is growing. I've had corn in the ground for over two months now... that haven't grown an inch from when the starts were bought. Some carrots I put in the ground are shooting a little... cucumbers and peppers are dying. Tomatoes aren't really taking off because I can't uncover them long enough to get any sun. Although I have a couple toms on a few plants, they're not doing much... I have one that's starting to ripen. Most of the plants look pretty grim. Soem that were started indoors in late March are still less than a foot tall and have no flowers.
I've lost a few tomato plants...
The only thing doing partly OK are the strawberries.
