it even sucks down south this year. it was 33F here last night. a full month after our average last frost date. 
some of my plants look sick, but i think they will all recover.

No.. they were setting buds .. they'll still produce some cherry's, just not alot of them. The farmers use heaters in the fields to try to keep the buds from freezing off, but it's pointless in this weather..

I was able to get in a couple three hours in the garden before work this morning. I finished hoeing the peas and corn, and plowed the green beans and okra. The cool nights are slowing everything down.
Also raked up leaves and pinestraw to mulch the fruit trees I transplanted earlier in the week. I got the new stuff mulched, and everything watered.

The peas and corn are growing slow as hell. Cucumber, melons and squash are not growing at all.

my potatoes and brussels sprouts are doing well, albeit the potato leaves were seriously hurt by 2 late frosts.
everything is real slow.... banana pepper plant may not make it.

I got the Nina beans transplanted this week. And picked up some intel on them when I did my thrift store rounds on Tuesday. They are from India, and the seeds can be found online {according to Nina}. She said hers got about chin high {chest high on a normal sized person}. Looking forward to growing these.

My peppers in pots are doing alright. The ones in cups are hurting though. I may go ahead and put them in the ground, just so the roots can spread out. I have a big area around an oak that I took out of production this year. I may put them around the edges of that area.
