Northeast Gardening: Is the cold summer in Maine record breaking?, 1 by drumlin

I just moved to Maine about 2 1/2 years ago (HI ex fellow Connecticut-er!!), so I thought this summer was fairly typical of Maine, maybe a little wetter than usual? I'm surprised to find it's unusually cool. I'm renting a plot in a community garden and have been very disappointed in the eggplants, only two little eggplants out of 6 plants! Only three melons out of almost 12 plants. I just picked the first tomatoes yesterday, late August. Lots of carrots, but just getting big enough now to pull. I started rather late, in late June, so next year I'll start a bit earlier now that I know about this community garden.
