Welcome, CB -- when do we plant our summer veggies...? We aren't even allowed to start our tomato seedlings until April -- and nothing goes into the ground until May 15th, only if the weather has become mild! We're near New York City, zone 6. Imagine what it's like for the gardeners north of us, such as zone 4 -- it must be a very short summer. This year we're in for a severe drought. 2001 was very dry, and 2002 is proving to be worse. New Jersey is about to put in water rationing for the situation is so bad -- the reservoirs are only at 49% and sinking, whereas normally they are at 86% and rising in February. It's gonna be a rough growing season ahead. Penny, NY . ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
