Summer Weather in Spring

The weather around here has been crazy the last two weeks. Summer has sprung without really any spring. The trees are all budding at once. My daffodils are already done blooming for the year and the tulips are at their peak. The result is a gorgeous scene of flowering landscape. It sounds though like this weekend we go back to late spring weather. The highs are only going to be in the upper 60's and lower 70's versus the 80's this week. Even that is several degrees above normal. I am enjoying this early burst of warmth but am also looking forward to maybe a little cooler temps. Mid-80's is a little warm for this time of year.

Today, it is finally dry enough that I am going to put in the rest of my early spring crops. I am hoping to have my first rounds of potatoes, lettuce, cabbage, kohlrabies and carrots in the ground along side the spinach, peas and onions I planted last week before all the rain started again. Looks like this weekend is going to be wet again so it should give them a good start.

Hope you are enjoying the weather where you are and either looking forward to planting or planting your spring crops depending on where you live. Happy spring!
