That erratic weather seems to be becoming the norm now of days. Other
homesteaders/gardeners from Texas to New England are commenting on the same
thing.
It's true here too. Absolutely poorest crop of hard corn ever this year
because during the corn planting season (when the dogwood leaves are the size
of a
squirrel's ear) it alternated between hard freeze and 80 degrees every frew
days until early May. The corn (and other crops) would have done fine if it
had stayed cool, or had warmed up, but just as soon as a week of really warm
weather would send the corn up six inches, a freeze would bit it off.
