This was another "fooled ya" warm May up here. My tomatoes and peppers aren't getting planted until after Memorial Day. I've been burned too many times.

Tried to warn my gf about not planting until the frost free date ( Isnt May 19th the frost free date in OH?), but she was too excited to get our first garden under way. ( She moved in with me in September) |

1/2" of snow in the upper peninsula of Mi yesterday, hard freeze last night. Don't even think about planting until after Memorial Day, and even then....

Frost advisory tonight in NH. We missed the last one so hopefully we will miss this one.... apples trees are all blossoming and frost could kill them.

yep, it's been a bit edgy in Ny too. Not quite freezing here but close enough. 4/5ths of the garden bed is ready to be planted, still working on the expansion. Actually the cool weather is nice to go pull stones in compared to the hot and dry we had a for a few weeks.
I'm about ready to keep the chickens outside now. They're feathered but these cool nights have me second guessing myself. I've been putting them out in the hutch for a couple weeks during the day and bringing them in to the basement at night. |

We were supposed to get one late last week but dodged the bullet. It was the day after I planted 300 strawberry crowns.
It is supposed to be 38 Friday night with light rain. Hopefully NO FROST

I have been itching to get my garden fully planted but held off. I think Sunday is going to the day.

Supposed to hit the mid 30's Friday night. Holy Smokes! That's COLD for late May. How often does that happen up there? We're having a cold snap too...colder than most years for late May..Supposed to hit 45 tonight. I haven't looked beyond that. My mom says frost at this time of year is not unheard of even down here, but sheesh... We have a saying...It's 100 degrees. It must be time for the Glasgow Highland Games (Scottish festival that happens in a neighboring town every year the week after Memorial Day) I'm not sorry that it's not 100 degrees, but I sure don't like it this cold, this late. |

It happens about 50% of the time. It's not that it is normally cold here in May, but there often is one last bubble of cold air that will slide across the lake from Canada. I just looked at weather underground. 1/2 of PA, all of NYS a few NE counties in Ohio and WV have frost warnings for tonight. |

I'm not worried about onions, garlic, horseradish, radishes, shallots or my herbs, but I have 2 hot pepper plants and some soybean (for edemame) in pots. I may tuck them under the deck next to my aquaponics system. That should keep the ambient air warmer. That's 750 gallons at about 61F and that will likely be considerably warmer by the end of the day. |

Calling for a low of 37 with a frost advisory here tonight.
I have a small (10' x 15') raised bed garden, and some of the peppers and tomatoes are in (along with lettuce and some herbs). I'm assuming covering the garden with a sheet tonight will be sufficient? |

http://www.wunderground.com/severe.asp Just a frost advisory. Think it might have rained here a bit ago, so. Don't know if it'll clear off enough to frost. I'll thow a paper over the peppers and cukes anyways. |

Lol, I know how it goes, life is busy, don't always have time to do it when the weather cooperates, and when you do have time the weather doesn't cooperate... it's always something. Thankfully things just happened to work out well for me this year. I got them in mid-April, we got some pretty nasty frost that killed some off, but I was able to protect some others so they made it... they are now flowering like crazy and I should have a good crop of Romas come July. My early girl and cherry toms should be ready in June. The cherries already have lots of full-size fruits, just waiting for them to ripen now. |
