I decided to hold off on planting anything else. I started prepping on Saturday for this morning's frost that never came. It was 38F this morning, but wet enough that there was barely a hint of frost on the rooftops. Today was an absolutely perfect May day: warm and sunny and dry. I caught up on garden chores and planted Sweet Corn.

Everything got backed up a step. Heat loving plants either a frost cover or returned to the cold frame. Things got moved out of the cold frame back under lights to make room and get carried out to the driveway for the day when it is warm enough.

Memorial Day weekend has sort of snuck up on us, but I am going to ignore it from a gardening point of view and wring one more week out of May.
