    Crazy weather these last 6 months. We keep fluctuating between hot & cold. Ninety degrees in early May is 20 degrees warmer than normal. 24 hours later we had frost warnings...now its back to high 80's. Hope you did not have any damage.

    I'm seeing mixed up weather where I live, too. In a week, I will have gone through the gamet of seasons and have the clothes in a pile to prove it! Global warming, anyone?

    I know that the seasonal clothes on the floor make me mad, but I can see how losing anticipated sweetness of fresh food would be worse. Double Arrgh!

    The weather is messed up! We had warmer weather in March and April than we are having so far in May!

    Oh my gosh, weather is crazy for you this spring.

    I'm holding my tomato plants in the cold frame until June 1st this year. Too unpredictable (frost/freeze earlier this week).

    Did put the pea seeds and cole plants into the garden soil and a few perennials/annuals. We'll see how it goes.

    WoW. That is crazy. I have been waking up to rain rain and more rain lately. The weather lately has been very weird. Usually we do not get this much rain in May. It usually rains in April then May is pretty dry but it has been completely backwards lately.
