No kidding. I started vege gardening this year, too. Pod Peas Oregon 2- MIA, Stringbeans, one vine out of 12 seedlings, Pumpkins 1 french, 1 giant vine, both underdeveloped. It is endless.

I got about 10 canna tubers. I have about 7 plants coming up but are stalled about 1 foot long.

I am trying tomatoes from seed, and have about 5 plants that took off about 3 weeks ago, they are now in 2-3 gallon black pots, with 2-3 unripe tomatoes between them.

I think last weeks cold put everything off for some more time. I am hoping for more of the standard 80-85F temperatures of August will move everything along.

Its also been frustrating for my cacti and succulents, I have one plant that has been trying to bloom all summer, and it has been, a little, I think it just needs to heat up a little more and that flower will open fully. Other plants, haworthias, aloes, adromischus are all blooming unaffected, but nothing has been as showy as my Pleiosplios nellii
