Spinach in soup. We are having a mini heat wave ALREADY and it is still Spring. One spinach bolted, but bloomsdale long standing is a CHAMP. I'm going to make some senegalese peanut stew with the rest of the spinach.
I envy all of you. Still getting snow here. No garden started yet.
Yeah, I'm looking at the map and saying WOW!! Here I am getting influence from the Atlantic only in the cool 60s, Meanwhile Hot 80s up to Montreal but it feels like 20s and 30s in Upper Mid West in Mid Afternoon, Mid May.

This has been the best year ever for us, with a warm and fairly dry spring. Last night we had a big salad with both red and green lettuce, with some spinach and snow peas all from the garden. Some of the tomatoes are as big as a nickel and normally I don't even plant them until mid-May. I have corn about 8" tall, despite our short summer, trying a variety called
"On Deck" with a dozen plants in a 24" pot on the patio where it gets sun all day.
