The Greater Gardening of 2026 – Part 20 – Deeply Depressed


Arrrgh.

We got the much-needed rain, but that also meant that slugs came out. There aren’t many, but it was enough to wipe off nearly a month of work – almost all my pumpkins, except butternut, are dead. This is because they were weakened by the stupidly cold and dry May (we basically had April weather in May, and then it went straight into June), and did not manage to take root and grow fast enough after being planted outside. I will be lucky to have any zucchini or Hokkaido at all.

My mood took a nosedive.
