   Here in SE VA we usually have just set out the warm   
   weather plants or are about to do so. My plants are   
   a little behind this year due to not having fresh seeds   
   for everything and having to re-start several varieties.   
      
   Turns out it's a Good Thing I'm behind because the weather   
   radio this morning informed the region that a there is a   
   possible frost warning for Saturday night with temps dropping   
   into the mid-30s. Yikes! This is just about unheard of and   
   about a month after the usual average last frost date.   
      
   Farmers are probably scrambling as are many home gardeners.   
      
   But all of my plant "customers" are still waiting for me   
   to hand over the plants, so we're safe. Whew!   
      
   I finally got bed #4 cleared and planted two days ago when   
   it was actually spring-like weather. Green beans in that   
   bed and they should be okay since they haven't had time   
   to emerge yet.   
      
   The rest of the planted beds are all cold-lovers like   
   peas, broccoli, and lettuce. The one flower bed is close   
   to the house and should be protected enough to come through   
   okay too.   
      
   Geez, what a year!   
      
   Nyssa, who had planned on starting to clear another bed   
   or two but rains along with a 20 degree drop in temperature   
   put that idea to rest quick-like
