Experiencing Climate Change Locally
I have had a very disappointing growing season in my vegetable garden this year. My tomato plants only produced about half their normal fruit, and the fruit they did produce was about half the size of normal. My wax beans formed and then promptly dried up before I could harvest them. My pole beans climbed their poles more slowly than normal, and they never spread out horizontally along the overhead trellises as usual. They hardly produced any flowers to develop beans.
What did I do wrong? Is my soil depleted? What was going on?
