Plants Think it is a COLD summer in the NE!

It's mid August and the primroses are still in flower in my Western Massachusetts garden. There are colorful pansies in the border in front of the house, and my morning glories have only a very small number of buds and no flowers.



This tells me that despite what I'm hearing on the news, we've been having a cold summer here, not a hot one!



Anyone else noticed this?

No blooms on my morning glories and my tomatoes are still green. Last night it went down to 12 C and I'm in Southern Ontario.We had two really hot weeks in July but that's about it.

Last few days have been nice. We got several days of off and >
