It really is frustrating. I’ve hardly had any tomatoes this year. The apples are falling from the tree unripe, the plums are worm-eaten, and the zucchini and cucumbers are stunted. Onions, bell peppers, chili peppers, carrots, and bush beans did well. There’s hardly any harvest from the pole beans, and the cabbage this year has a very firm texture and intense flavor. The potatoes are tiny. My fall raspberries are stunted and have been eaten by pests—oh well. The Wetterau region has been particularly hard hit by drought and heat this year. I really feel for the farmers. No one expected this after the cool spring; otherwise, more precautions could have been taken. It’s good that the break is coming soon and we can start thinking about the new season during the winter. I’m grateful that, despite all the losses, I can still harvest small amounts here and there. How’s your harvest looking?
