Market Farming

Weather is strange here too.  I am in middle Tennessee.  Our last frost is 
usually April 10th.  Most consider the 15th a safe time to plant.  The 
redbuds and dogwoods all blossomed around the 5th or 6th; another good sign 
to plant.  Our temps were pretty normal up until the 22nd or 23rd with highs 
in the mid 70's to low 80's.  Then the temps changed to highs in the 60's, 
lows in the mid 40's, cloudy and lots of rain.  On April 25th we had a 
freeze while I was out of town visiting family.  I lost all my tomatoes, 
peppers and potatoes.  The last time my area had a freeze on April 25th was 
in 1910.  The weather since has been highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s 
with almost constant rain and very little sun.
I will replant the tomatoes and peppers as soon as the rain stops.  I'm 
hoping the potatoes will come back.  As Willy says, "Onward through the 
fog."
