Southern California and you would think we would have perfect weather. Well, we live by the coast, can see the ocean. With it, we get marine layer/fog and the cold.

It's been cloudy, foggy and its very humid in the morning and on some days, sun would come out. It's been like that since April. Three days ago, we were wearing our jackets out at 3:00pm. you would think you were living in pacific northwest.

The marine layer has caused powdery mildew to go crazy and managed to destroy half of my cucumber, more than half of my tomato, and all of my zucchini and squash. The upside for us is that our growing season goes well into November and December. We already have replacement seedlings going so hopefully we can salvage our season.

Even with the poor weather, we managed to pickle full years worth of bread and butter pickle of zucchini. have had home made tomato sauce for our pasta...tomato and cucmber salad... Okra a total loss, bell pepper nada. tomatillo is growing crazy don't know why... Jalepeno, serrano, shishito are fairing okay 2 varieties of eggplants are managed to avoid the mildew... only one mellon plant survived the "June gloom".

no canned tomato yet.

Corn got a late start so they are only waist high.
