To boil it down to a quick reply. I'm in MA and this has been the worst growing season ever. I share a space with a neighbor. We've decided to rely on the local farmers markets next year. Not worth the cost and effort these past 2 years. This year was a huge waste! Did not recoup the cost of flats, fertilizer or seed.
Not a normal growing season.
