Tons. It has been a very frustrating season. My raspberries are covered with it. It looks like all of the spinach and chard seeds are lost. And the slugs are an epidemic. So far the tomatoes and potatoes are doing ok. The garlic was mostly ok. Some of the bulbs Weren't salvageable. The Swiss chard is doing great!

What about you kvr?

This is the most rain I've ever seen in one season

I haven't even planted yet, I'm waiting, I'm gonna do a fall garden and carry over through the winter, it's been just to wet, most of the people around here have lost a majority what they planted, I need to make some changes for next year

During times like this it makes me really think about what it would be like if we had to really depend on our garden for our food. I like to think I am somewhat prepared, but geeze.

same here, we had a similar summer 5 years ago, I made the comment to my wife then, if we really depended on this, we'd be screwed, guess I didn't learn enough that year

We had another huge scary storm last night. The remay that I have over the veggies helped protect them!
