The lettuce (on the left), radishes (in the middle) and the nonexistent beans in the trench on the right are all waiting. I have begun to come to the sad conclusion (it's been 2 weeks since they were planted), that the beans will need to be replanted for the third time.
HC - Check your soil temperature before replanting; for beans to germinate the soil must be at least 60 F. . If you plant too early the seeds can rot.
The weather here is also chilly and rainy. Too cold to even start hardening off the tomato seedlings. Yesterday I did a round of nursery visits with a friend - none had many plants out. The owners of the two biggest (who know us after 30 years of visits), both of whom grow all their own stock, said everything is weeks behind because of the weather. The average temperature here in April was only 1 degree higher than the average temperature last December.
