We've had a lovely roll of pre-spring-like conditions, normal for us this time of the year.
But a huge cold front, bringing arctic air down into the Carolinas, has changed that. It's now really cold -- into the teens (F°) tonight, with a high in the 30° F zone. That's cold for February.
I'm glad I didn't think that last weekend's weather meant it was time to plant peas. It definitely would have been too early.
I wish I'd snagged the spinach and creasy greens this afternoon in my raised beds. The creasy greens will be fine -- not sure about the spinach. It was a very small patch, so that's OK.
