Rain, rain go away.

I finally got everything in the ground by the end of the seventh, and now April weather has decided to show up in June. The ground is too cold to stimulate proper growth, and the extra water is keeping the root systems to high in the ground. The only things that seem to be enjoying this are the peas and potatoes (what a surprise, the cool weather crops), and to a lesser extent, most of the winter and summer squashes. The peppers, tomatoes, bush beans and chiles seem especially hard hit. I can almost guarantee it will not be a good year for corn.
