I haven't planted corn yet. Figured the seed would just rot with the
wet/cold conditions. I hope to plant it this weekend. Pumpkins planted
last week are just stagnating.
Actually, you can grow bananas that will overwinter in, I think, up to
zone 4, albeit, the ornamental variety. I'm way too fond of this site -
www.logees.com. My house is gonna be smelling like a citrus grove come
winter.

Latest the corn has gone in in 20 years here in N. Indiana. Soggy wet
and cool for 26 days now. The pumpkins are in hothouses and outgrowing
them fast. The rest of my garden is bound to have rot and fugi problems.
I was actually hoping this Global Warming thing was true. I always
wanted to grow bananas on my place.
I'm in trouble this year with a bunch of produce if it doesn't warm and
dry.

not wet here just cold. the last time it was this dry here was the dust
bowl of 1933. when I till the garden it feels like i am walking in a
pile of flour.
I had to build motes around my plants because the sprinkler can't get it
wet enough to get to the roots. almost ready to throw in the towel.

Yeah, we've been having unusually cool and wet weather here in NE PA as
well. But what's really weird is that even though it's been cold,
almost all of my radishes bolted, and my spinach, touted on the package
for being "slow bolting" and "long standing" got 1 1/2 inches tall and
developed seed heads. What's up with that? The same thing happened to
another gardener in my area. Perhaps it's stress from all the cold/wet
weather?
Hope your plants survived Jim!
