Summer, perhaps. More like June weather.

Mowed the lawn 3 times and have started mowing on the acreage. Wild blackberry patches on acreage are in bloom.

Garden is doing great. Starting to pick strawberries. Picking green onions. Asparagus patch is going great guns.

Eugene, I have walked out onto ice on Lake Superior in early June in Keweenaw Bay. 90+ degrees this early is very out of sorts for extreme northern Michigan.

Finally, spring is here. First 8 days of May, rained, and never got over 50 degrees. 70 degrees, today. breezy, last 2 days, so the garden dried out enough to work in it.

My garden was planted 3 weeks ago. Had one moderate freeze in that period of time, no damage to garden crops.

My current problem is that it rains, drizzles, for 4 or 5 days straight. Have spot sprayed on the acreage once, but need another 5 gallons of water/herbicide mix to finish up the fence lines for the first time. Have rain/drizzle in the weather forecast for the next 5 days.

Did try my homemade weed wiper on garden weeds during one dry afternoon.

Get on Weather.com and type in zip coded 65051, then average monthly temperatures. Use to live in west central Iowa. Much milder winters here in central Missouri.

Same in central Missouri with heat index close to 100. Typical August weather.

Spring garden crops are finished. Picked the last of the peas. Only a few beets left in the garden. Melons are just starting to vine. June strawberries stopped producing last week. Picked 4 or so gallons, placed in the freezer. Had strawberry short cake a couple of times.

Daughter visited. She made strawberry jelly, strawberry jam, and strawberry/orange marmalade. She took home the canned goods and about a gallon of frozen berries. Have some of the canned berries that didn't fit in jars in the fridg. Still have about 1/2 gallon of frozen berries in the freezer.

Everbearing strawberries are just starting. Could be that I will get tired of strawberries, strawberry short cake, strawberries on ice cream. Probably not.

Looks like another bumper crop of black berries this year. Black berry jelly. Also looking forward to a decent black walnut harvest. Black walnut, oatmeal, and raisin cookies.

Local farmers market has been open for several weeks with local grown vegetables. And some sneaked in imported tomatoes - looked good - not of home grown quality.

strawberries are loaded with blossoms,garden all planted and the greenhouse plants are doing great.
had frost last week one night,also seen fall colors on one tree today .
rain's average 1-3'' so no watering needed.
