The week in review

The first full week of the garden year was just about perfect.  We received 0.8 in. of rain total, and had 90 heat units, which would have been very nearly enough to get corn to emerge had I planted corn.  The only time the temp dipped below 50 that I can remember was yesterday morning, when it was a chilly (but still above normal) 40 degrees.  Last year at this time it was 8 degrees!
