June 12th update

This has been a brutally cold spring, frosts have fallen several times, killing off many of our friends and neighbors transplants. On balance the first 10 days of this month have been 10 degrees lower than average. Daytime highs of 12 to 15 and nighttime lows of around freezing have really kept the veggies from developing. The cool earth has meant that germination has been agonizingly slow. Still, in the last few days things have started warming up a little, and at last the plants are beginning to grow.The onions are doing great, while spinach and lettuce mix have their first true leaves.
Here a recently sprouted golden beet is peeking up.
Head lettuce transplants are starting to put out new growth,
Like this red romaine.
The leafy greens under row cover are up and seem to be handling the flea beetles okay,
Corn just started coming up today,
Peas, a cool season favorite are doing well despite the temperatures.
Kale, another cold hardy transplant, has been growing since it went in last week.
Our tomatoes, peppers and herbs are hardening off before we transplant them, hopefully tomorrow or the next day.
The forecast is looking good, fingers-crossed, hopefully the plants can make up for lost time, as our first delivery date is set for the evening of July 1st!
