It's the weather, stupid

         Or perhaps, it's the stupid weather.   After a couple of teasingly warm days, the weekend was cool and dry with a brisk north wind.  I'm pretty sure the snap bean seed i planted on Thursday is getting ready to start rotting in the ground as the soil temperatures took a dive.   Around the north country fields are being plowed and seeds sowed but good growing conditions will be necessary fairly soon.  A wet spring is rapidly giving way to drier conditions.   The apple orchards are about a week ahead of schedule and it looks like we may dodge the late frost which weather like this sets us up for.
