Oh no! We finally put ours in the ground last weekend. I’ve been keeping them inside and on the deck (eight feet high) under an umbrella for about a month. It’s been in the low 50’s at night, thank goodness.

Lol, dry heat is better than humid!
I recall being in Pennsylvania one snowy winter and had my fur coat hanging open because it was a dry cold - just not as chilling it seemed.

"Today is our first warm day this year, around 78. A hard freeze killed my freshly planted tomatos last week."

Heck, your comment doesn't mean a thing if you don't state where you are. Which state?

My tomatoes are doing good, 2 weeks in the ground.. I’m trying to see how old seeds can be and still germinate. I got a bunch of 20-25 year old veg seeds.

so far kohlrabi kicks butt. a few onions , I think,, time for new seeds.

Very strange and cool spring this year.

I hear ya.. I used to look forward to working in oklahoma or arizona in the summer. 100 , no sweat. well, maybe a little.

and Yes, it is the strangest in a run of strange ones the last decade or two.

Before the glo-bull warmists start their hue and cry, it was hotter here in Arkansas back in 1968 than it is today.

Wohooo It was 105 here in Houston on Sunday...

I remember living in Phoenix Arizona... It was 115 one summer... but it was a “dry” heat.

I left Houston one day when it was 85 and miserably uncomfortable. I had a stopover in Phoenix where it was 103 and went out for a walk, it was so comfortable.

Gimme "dry" any day.
