Deja Vu all over again

While not hoping for rain, the showers last night were welcome for the plantings I was able to put in over the weekend.  It's still cool, so although the first planting of corn went in on Saturday I think good germination will be a fluke.  The soil is still wet and cool for the most part.  The tomato, pepper and eggplant transplants will spend another week in the cozy confines of my coldframes.  Meanwhile, I was able to spread compost and lay the black plastic on their beds in hopes of milder weather.  Planting and transplanting lettuce and cole crops continues, but will start to back up if the rainy forecast for the coming weekend holds.  The only seedlings happy with the weather are weeds, particularly lambsquarters and galinsoga.
