   Yeah, the chill is a bit odd.  It is "just the beginning of May" and   
   all, but the mild/hard frosts we got out of nowhere were a bit   
   concerning (I mean, okay, yes I am playing the odds, since technically   
   my 90% last frost date is, well, this coming Monday).   
      
   It's interesting digging into the USDA maps, less than 10 minutes north   
   or west, and I'd be out in 6a, but there's like a valley here of 5b,   
   with a little touch of 5a right in the middle, as you head east (again,   
   probably about 15 minutes).

   Just had to replant mine (they're in containers though).  2/3 never   
   sprouted, and the one that did got murdered by inquiring fingers (or pet   
   noses).    Hopefully this batch planted the 24th(ish) fares better :).   
      
      
   Sowed a few carrots at the same time in some extra pots, which thanks to   
   being inside are now beating out the ones sown in the actual garden   
   beds!
