It’s amazing after 10 years of gardening on a fairly large scale (between a quarter acre to a full acre over that time), you get the feel for what the weather is going to do. I told my parents it was going to be a cold, wet spring. They looked at me funny as always when I tell them what the weather is going to do. Well it’s been a cold wet spring. If you pay attention to the signs you can be pretty accurate.
I’ve only been caught off guard once and that was last year, it got up into the 70’s in March for the last two weeks and then didn’t get above freezing for the first two weeks in April. Can’t remember anything like it in my 40 years, though I’m sure grandma probably can.
Well I got enough in so at least I can have my salad and peas early, so I’m not complaining too much.
Isn’t it odd, how our worlds are so different.
I would not say this was a cold wet winter.
For which I am thankful.
The difference a few hundred miles makes.
Without heat, I am very much in contact with the cold, can count the layers of clothes that i have on.
I am so very glad you got part of it planted, at least you feel like you have started and can watch it grow.
