Trees flower early

Tomatoes setting in May

Late frost means dieback

I got the idea from a time I worked on a farm when I was young, the weather had been terrible and the farmer said, 'Whatever you do don't be a farmer,...... who'd want to be a farmer?' :)

Very apt Ed. I'm enjoying a day weeding in our garden - trouble is they'll all come back again!

Do you get black frost there? We do get the dreaded black frost at occasion, it kills the plants. Perhaps that is what you mean with "dieback" ?

Keep well Doug! Nolan &
