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.

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.
