Here’s looking forward to a warmer summer

Each morning I check the garden hoping for signs of life in the vegetable patch. For weeks all our seeds in the cold damp soil decided that this spring is nothing more than winter in disguise. It was a struggling no-show but finally a few have begrudgingly surfaced. I can’t remember a spring as wet, cold, and long as this one. Apparently I’m not alone. “It’s been so cold,” said Mark Sweeney, industry berry specialist with the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands. “Right from December it’s been odd. And not getting above 12oC in (early) June is extremely unusual. I can’t remember a spring like this.” Skywatch Media News
