If I had any idea the vegetable garden was going to perform so poorly this year, I would not have bothered at all.
The weather was particularly bad. It started off with a really hot May and June. July was the wettest historically. August was incredibly hot and humid. September was no rain at all except for one major flooding rain storm. Powdery mildew covered almost everything. The spring peas absolutely fried on the vine. I only got about a dozen cucumbers before the mildew got into those and to add insult to injury I only got about 20 tomatoes.
Thinking of letting it go fallow next year. Not quite sure what kind of cover crop to put in, might end up just doing the whole plot in annual flowers and take joy in that.
