Colporteur, Sorry to hear about your plants. Most years here we can get things planted in April. But yes the last two years have been rough. As well you are not alone, for many down here had the same problem, but you leave them alone for a week or two and they will sometimes come out of it. I had way to many out to cover, but the Lord was watching out I guess for I had no frost. I have been putting eggplant into the ground, so I am thinking the cold is gone for the year. Sweet potatoes will stat going in tomorrow as well. Why give me a few more weeks and I will be picking a few maters, can't wait.
