The temperatures have been cool… very cool… so cool that a lot of our plants are behind already and getting farther back. Temperatures remain well below average and the little heater in the uninsulated greenhouse is going full tilt most of the time. Peas went into the ground last weekend as did some beets, but nothing has shown yet. We did get 41mm of rain last weekend in one day alone and 25mm more yesterday. At least the ground is not frozen anymore and letting a lot of it sink in.

We get a break tomorrow with a double digit day and some sun… but then several more days of cloud and rain.
Bummer.
