Sunday night we have a possible low of 30, rain/freezing rain. Monday only a high of 49. Tuesday night, we have a possible low of 25, 31 on Wednesday night.

It's roller-coaster season. I sure hope we can keep the flowers on our fruit trees, but it's a crapshoot every spring.

Gives me total appreciation of our pioneer ancestors trying to stay alive in the Ozarks.

Isn't that right. Fruit trees ARE a crapshoot here. My grandparents in MO have had fruit trees blooming already, and they get fruit about once every fifth year, and this year is the fifth year so they should get them, but this will likely freeze their trees. Our forecast has come to be about the same as yours now. I'll probably cover up my brassicas in the ground with tarps or mason jars tonight.

I was able to get some turnips and potatoes in today, and some beetroot in yesterday. It's shaping up to be a cool spring I think

I don't know how are ancestors did it!!

I'm in same boat as your grandparents, I think. Everything's in bloom. Yikes.

I was going to plant some beet seeds I'd soaked today but I'm going to see if I can get them to "hold" in the refrigerator till Weds.

It was a very beautiful morning today- started out sunny and in the 50's. It's a real pity it's so gloomy now and we'll have a cold front rolling in tonight! lol

What varieties are you planting? I sowed Detroit Dark Red yesterday
