Not so springy

Woke up to a little snow on the grass this morning.  The weather authorities have been saying this will be a slow starting spring and we will have below normal temps through May.  But farmers and gardeners are notorious for ignoring ambient conditions and doing things by the calendar, trusting mother nature to cover up our over anxious attempts to stay on schedule.  Unless things turn around in a hurry, we will be late starting this season for most vegetables.  I planted carrots and beets on Sat., but with soil temps hovering in the 40s, I'll be combing early season weeds to find the sprouting veggies in about 3 weeks.
