Our spring started off wet and cool, but turned abruptly to hot and dry in the last week or so. Our cold-weather plants had been loving it. Our spinach and broccoli kept growing and growing.
Then it turned warm, and it all went to seed. Two lovely heads of broccoli suddenly sprouted little yellow flowers and the lettuce started too bolt.
Luckily, we have loads of tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and melons that are all too ready to soak up this heat.
