Then New York City turned into Seattle, and it was rain rain rain nearly every day in June. I didn't need to water my plants for what felt like weeks! The tomatoes and herbs mostly loved it, but the flowers did not - they didn't know if they would ever see the sun again and they lost all their blooms. Poor flowers.
Now it turns out the dogs have been contributing to their demise by munching on the flowers and the parsley! No wonder my parsley hasn't grown big and tall like last year! At this point it's a lost cause.
My mint doesn't look so hot either. Don't know what its problem is because it's not in a doggie accessible spot.
At least the basil is still going strong even though its stems are black at the soil line, which is usually a bad sign. I have a pretty laissez faire yellow thumb attitude. Sadly I don't know how to mix any special seaweed cocktails for plants or anything like that like some people.
Did this year's unseasonable amount of rain affect anything you're growing?
