Here it is at the end of May and today we'll be having some wind with a high of 59 degF. Their calling for FROST again tonight! Can you believe this? With this kind of weather I can't even get my garden in. I'm having to reseed what I do have because things are just dieing out. We'll be lucky if we get in 3 months of good weather. It'll deffinatly be a short growing season looks like this year. Can someone PLEASE send some warm weather our way. I really would like to get my garden in.

I'd mail you some warm but it might cool off by the time it gets there.
Up in the Adirondaks there is a freeze warning for tonight.

I'd send you some warm weather but we haven't even reached 50 deg F or 10 C. Only 3 times this yr so far it went over 50F. I can send some sun, i gots lots of that to spare, if it ever quits raining.

I think I found your summer temps, they have piled on top of our spring temps to make my life miserabl 
I have been trying to send a few degrees of our heat to other places and can't find a carrier to take them, but you are welcome to come get as much as you can carry away.

Hey Petunia I'm with ya!
We had one week of nice weather. The long weekend was dark, windy, rainy and gloomy. Thank heavens I hadn't bought many annuals yet. We had the grand daddy of hail storms!! My daylilies, iris, hollyhocks, bleeding hearts and delphiniums are beat to death  My snap dragons are just little green sticks.  I think I've got it bad, really makes me feel for those poor people in tornado alley.

I was just about to send you some of ours but it's disappeared today and it's much colder and more overcast than it's been for a while. Actually we could do with some rain as it's been so dry. I hope that summer arrives quickly for you as there's nothing more frustrating to a gardener than not being able to garden.

So sorry, no warmth here at the moment. We've had plenty of rain, but today is dry and a bit windy, so I can't send any wetness either.

Soooooooooo cold here in Essex at the moment - we had that hot spell a couple of weeks ago and it has been yuck ever since. Very depressing. We went to the local airshow yesterday and the wind and the rain were so strong, only a couple of planes could take off. Getting fed up with it again.

I would send you some if we had it as well. We did hit the low 80F/26C's yesterday and then we dropped back down to 55F/12C today. It is breezy and cloudy....and we may get a little bit more rain again today.
Not that I mind too much, since when it gets hot here, I just die.

Sorry Petunia, it's been a crazy spring for us in ME as well. It sounds like we've had a few more warm days than you but not many. As it comes though, I'll be sending it your way. I still have my seedlings on my dining room table and I'm getting tired of eating in the living room. LOL!

I'm in the same boat as you Petunia. We have frost warnings for tonight too. It felt more like autumn today.

This is just crazy. It can get up into the high 70's but by 5 in the evening start dropping drastically. We have a freeze warning on from 2 a.m. till 8 a.m Here at the end of may. I think mother nature may have forgotten to turn OFF the fall/winter faucet and turn ON the spring/summer faucet.
