Things were running about a week to ten days behind schedule, but the last week has been bust-ass hot.

I have cousins as house guests. One of them is up from Orlando. We've had lows in the 40's most mornings this week. And she was chilly.

I've had the best luck with Blue Lake green beans. You can find the seeds just about any where that sells seeds.

thanks

With the right gear, I'm good down to the 20's. But as much of a weather geek as I am, I sometimes misjudge the gear I need hiking. Spent a chilly evening on the Florida Trail a couple three weeks ago. Temps were not crazy low, but wind was crazy high. And I'm using a 7X7 tarp for shelter these days.

Our spring has been kind of crazy. It seems we have had a cool spring, but when you look at averages, we are both cooler and hotter. Today's high {82} was 5 degrees above average, while the low {46} was 5 degrees below average.

Prepped a bed yesterday. Gonna plant radishes against the house, in 75% shade today. Any info on chances this will work in 90+ temps.?

I've seen them. They will grow a long pod. Didn't see any at 3'. 2' was bout longest. Grower considered it a novelty. Yield unknown to me.

Non-optimal.

Radishes prefer cool and moist conditions for best growth. The optimum temperature is 50 to 65 °F. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 45 to 85 °F. Radish seed will not germinate when the soil temperature is above 95 °F. Spring-planted radishes should be harvested early.

Are those pole beans? I have some that are about 2-3 foot. Got the seeds from my little old Filipino lady gardening buddy. I'm planting mine in the field corn so I don't have to put up trellises. I've grown them before. They are like green beans as far as eating. I pick them about 18-24 inches so they are nice and tender.

Up against the house I think the soil temps will be ok. They will get bout 4 hrs. of direct sunlight during day and ambient will be typical South, hot and muggy. Put in 30 or so with about 60 green onions for a little more shade. Fingers crossed.

They should make. Maybe not as good as if planted a month or two ago. I've got away from growing radishes. They were always a part of the garden when I was a kid.
