Spring Weather Pattern

Wow, it's certainly been a poor start to the 2009 growing season. Cold temperatures and endless rain have frustrated many gardeners, but it looks like we are finally going to get a break. Since we are going to have a short growing season, you might want to purchase seedlings to start the vegetable garden this year. We had started many of our vegetables from seeds in February, but many didn't make it because of the cold and rain, so off to the plant sellers... Growing vegetables from nicely established plants can help lengthen the season somewhat.
