In 1816 there was frost every month of the year in central Ohio, farmers ran out of seed stock due to replanting several times.

World wide temperature drop caused by a volcanic eruption that no one here knew about.

Last year may have been the exception to that idea .Most of PA had a record amount of rainfall during the year .If the day of the week ended in ---day in 2018 you could trust it would rain. Many of my digging/detecting days where postponed due to rain and mud .Come spring and sunny days

Hi Jeff, yes all of this and all of that, but that was yesterdays ago. Today I live in Wilkes Barre and I have already planted red onions, yellow onions, nantes carrots and watermelon radishes,
My exotic Tulips(125) are up and my hyacinths and daffodils will follow shortly. Will I be too early? Time will tell and if I am what do I lose a few seeds and replant later.
If I am right a month longer growing season. Here's hoping for sunshine.....Joe McDonough
