This what the AGW alarmists want for my back yard...and yours.

Damned AGW! My limas are freezing their cotyledons off. Dropping back into the high 30s tonight.

In general if you want to plant beans you have to wait until it is usually at least 60 degrees farenheit at night. All beans are sub-tropical or tropical plants and the cooler temperatures simply allow the beans to rot in the fields.

I know lots of work has been done in recent years improving bean survivability, but whenever I've planted them too early they didn't make it.

Fortunately it's above 60F all this coming week, but there's no telling about next week.

It's already a full MONTH later than you can usually plant beans, or peanuts, in Virginia.

We could be in for a serious crop failure if this keeps up, or even if it simply stops raining.
