I was a little nervous that we might be headed back into a heat dome this year with the early part of this month, but now I think we may be having a traditional PNW spring/June-uary this year.

We have such a hit or miss microclimate where we are. A lot of the time I just rule out a lot of early spring veg because summer flips on like a light switch in late April/May and everything bolts immediately so things like baby greens and tender herbs can feel like an act of futility. I usually wait until mid August and even then things sometimes get cooked.

We walk such a strange line here with being nearly completely underwater in the winter rain, to a desert drought in the summer. The seasonal verges are violent, but it looks like a fair bit of rain and cool weather continuing on here, so I will bravely plant more greens and hope for salad and fill buckets with the rain.

This also bodes well for all our micro-hugelculture beds which can slow and dry if it gets too dry early in their lives. May the mycelium be with you.
