We had an unusually dry spring this year. April has an average of 3.6 inches of rain and we only got 1.4 inches, and it was also hotter sooner in the year than usual. Combined with the intense winter weather, it was a hard spring for gardening.
It actually made me pretty depressed, but just yesterday the rain started coming down and it should keep going all week.
A lot of plants are bolting early, especially brasicas. And anything planted in spring struggled, or failed to take, especially starting from seed, even with some manual watering. However, perineals and bienials from last year both did very well. They already had all the energy stored up that they needed, so the lack of spring rain didn’t affect them badly. Here’s all the winners for doing well despite climate change struggles.
Parnsips are flowering and doing quite well! There are only 6 or 7 plants that survived all the way from last year, so the gene pool is quite small. I’ll be buying some diverse parsnip seeds to mix with their offspring as insurance against in inbreeding, but getting parsnips all the way to seed is a huge step for me 
Bolted collards, they really should have gone longer before bolting, I’ll get some more adaptive seeds to mix with these as well because I suspect they have an early bolting preference in their genes that I’d rather avoid. But I’m mostly intered in collards as a winter time food anyway so it’s not that big of an issue.
Wheat mix, I’m especially proud of these and they produce huge amounts of biomass in such a small space, and survive the winter without issue. These are going to get a much bigger plot this fall.
Turnips, southern mustard greens, cabbage, and peas. And what looks like motherwort growing as a weed, because why not. The dense planting seems to have helped these do well despite minimal watering and excessively hot weather, as well as a small tree providing partial shade. I’ve been eating these regularly since the bed filled out and it is still full of greens. Cabbages are a commerial variety from transplant.
And as a bonus, lofthouse promiscuous tomato! I love how these look and can’t wait to eat them. I have almost a dozen transplanted around the garden, most are stunted from the drought but this one looks awesome.
