This year's annuals

[DryGulch]

Is it the plants or the weather?

Everywhere I look the annuals just seem to be "sitting." Usually the petunias are starting to looklike guerilla warriors and marigolds normally would be in full flower. This year annuals sem to look just about the way they did when planted; mine, my neighbors, the ones in the next town.

Has anyone else noticed this?

The annuals that I got in the ground/pots first are doing better than those I put in later. And, unfortunately, most went in later! Our tomatoes are doing great. They were among the first to get planted.
