RE: global warming (UNCLASSIFIED)


not wet here just cold. the last time it was this dry here was the dust bowl
of 1933. when I till the garden it feels like i am walking in a pile of flour.
I had to build motes around my plants because the sprinkler can't get it wet
enough to get to the roots. almost ready to throw in the towel.

Yeah, we've been having unusually cool and wet weather here in NE PA as
well.  But what's really weird is that even though it's been cold,
almost all of my radishes bolted, and my spinach, touted on the package
for being "slow bolting" and "long standing" got 1 1/2 inches tall and
developed seed heads.  What's up with that?  The same thing happened to
another gardener in my area.  Perhaps it's stress from all the cold/wet
weather?

Hope your plants survived Jim!
