getting past the weather

the weather has been cooler than i would like to see for early june and some of the growth in the garden has stalled...the cucumbers are coming along slowly ( top photo ) and it will be some time before we see blossoms i think...the sweet corn is taking its time as well ( second photo ) and won't be happy until it actually becomes summer...then we can argue with the squirrels...on the plus side the yukon gold potatoes seem to be doing just fine despite the temperatures ( third photo )...and another of the hopi blue maize replants has popped up ( bottom photo )...so we have a sort of balance...which is fine...but i would prefer some uninhibited growth instead...i am eager to set up a trellis for the cucumbers and see how vertical we can get...patience is a virtue...i need to find more.
