It seems like unusual weather for Brooklyn,but I'm not sure it's Biblical. Weather is weather, and when it comes to planting, keep on planting. We're having a record heat wave here in CA. I'm in the process of planting cool weather veggies and flowers, but they are having a really tough time in this heat,they are wilting and showing real stress. But I keep watering and shading them and once the weather changes, they'll be OK.

We had a glorious couple of days in the 60's. Crocus were blooming and tulips are pushing up. Haven't checked to see if the daffodils are peeking up yet. Thunderstorms rolled through with high winds, lots of rain yesterday and today we are back to winter. Snowing this morning which covered the ground and then disappears quickly till the next round of lake effect snow blows through. Many of the daylilies are growing already which is not a good thing. I'm keeping the dead foliage on top for a few more weeks before I start cleaning that up. Hopefully the deer stay away. Suppose to have this down and then back up temp type of weather this coming week.

What makes it more difficult is that the freezes usually come after a week or more of 80F+ days so the plants are in active growth. At least if the plants have adjusted to a chill they are less susceptible to injury. After a relatively mild winter, it looks like summer will be blazing hot.

It's been a pretty mild winter sofar.....high is going up to 67 today I just looked at last years weather for today. The high was 32
