Your garden variety crap

Cold Temperatures Freeze Gardening Season

All of this cold weather is freezing the start of the gardening season. Now, outdoor fans are eager for a warm-up.

"I'm 71-years-old and I've never seen spring come this late," Robert Ciesleck said.

..."When it starts getting into mid-March and April, then things should change fast, but not this year."

It has been a bad winter, more snow on Saturday put Central Iowa in the top six at 58.5 inches for the season.

My property, The Not So Vast Right Wing Ranch, is like a soaked sponge with the ground squishing when you step on it.

We had too much rain last summer and fall, with too wet of a winter and I don't think it'll ever dry out.

Personally, I blame Gore-BULL warming and the scientific community is united in that fact.

If you check the charts, and not the memory of a 71 year old, you'll see freezing temps remain in the state until early May.


















Also, temperatures don't just jump from Mid-March to April.

This chart will show an average increase of a degree a day.
