4-Orono Weekly Times, Wedne Van Belle Gardening BROKEN RECORDS We are not talking about the records you play on the record player, but the records that were broken time after time with the weather. Every day the weather forecaster for the last 6 to 8 weeks have been wrong almost daily, but 1 to give them credit, it probably was one of the most unusual weather conditions they have encountered for years, so we will just have to forgive them.

The worst hit this year with the bad weather has been the vegetable garden, and especially the tender seedling that did not have a day, June 25th, 1980 on chance against this weather. Numerous people had seeded cumcumbers, corn, beets and many other vegetables, and they just have not come up. The way I see it, they did not have a chance, first after planting they probably had some really nice warm weather, weather, so they germinated and then the wet and cold weather set in, and they literally rotted in the ground, or they stayed there dormant, until we have some better and warmer weather. Geraniums were touched with the cold, arid you will probably notice that the leaves have turned a purple colour. This is mainly due to the cold weather and is not frost, however they will snap out of this and will bloom just as good. This would be a good time to give the annuals a bit of help by feeding them with a liquid fertilizer such as RX 15 or another well balanced plantfood.
