Warming on the horizon

Despite the recent wet weather and cool temperatures, the garden is making some progress.  The early transplants of lettuce have started to size up and  may even be ready for market this weekend.  Despite continual infestation with flea beetles the cole crops are also growing and the tomato and peppers are at least holding their own.  According to the 10 day forecast we will be getting warmer as the week progresses and may even make it to the 80 degree mark this weekend.  That will certainly be welcomed by the corn, beans and other heat lovers.  So far this season gardening has been more like a Bataan death march than a pleasure, but that can change in a hurry.
