Well, our jump-start on the growing season was just over taken by weeks of cold, rainy weather. The mountains got snow over Memorial Day weekend, in fact. I've braved cold weather to plant the vegetables that weekend, but it was impossible this year after days of driving rain. At the end of it, washed out roads closed many Vermont schools and our backyard was full of standing water. The Brussels sprouts and peppers we'd planted seem to have weathered this weather better than I. A return to warm weather this week is starting to erase my irritation with fickle spring. But only our rainflowers (above) are truly happy.
