Managed to avoid the frost, only down to 3C, about 37.5F.

Lucky you we had fresh snow on the trees and bushes this morning and it has been snowing off and on all day. We are up to 37F which is about as warm as it will get today. Yesterday our high was 74F... and by Sunday all the snow will be melted and the temps up to the 70s again.

Boy am I glad we only have the odd snake or spider to deal with, you folks over have snow, and how many different pesty rodents to deal with, I know which is easier!

Well... it's the 24th of May long weekend here, and where's the snow? Sounds like it's turned up way out west!
This is the Victoria Day holiday when the parks officially open for the season here in Canada, and all the camper crazy people have to be out for the first weekend, and in return mother nature almost always provides a clear message of welcome. In the form of snow, sleet, wind, ice.....
Instead of the norm, it is shaping up to be very nice by local standards. Sun and clouds, highs 15 to 19 C for the three days. Maybe not quite to 70F but close enough to call a summer day.
I'm expecting moose to turn up here, as all the townies will be out strolling in the woods and driving them into my back yard. Or so it goes...

Here it's up to 94° so far, but supposed to get hotter. Didn't seem that hot when I was out earlier, as it was breezy, but still, I didn't want to spend a lot of time out there!

It was so sunny today with no puff of wind, I had to put a fan on the tomatoes.

@Bower; fan on yer tomatoes? Oy!

While sitting out on our (IMO) unseasonably cool back porch earlier, I shared with my visiting Leitches Creek dwelling sister how I have the rare fortune to be able to cavort with Canadian Tomato Ranchers like yourself.

The subject of your...um...uneven weather came up.....

We FINALLY got some rain this morning, 0.8". There was a blob on the weather map so big it couldn't go around us! More forecasted for late afternoon.

It was the warmest Victoria Day weekend since 1993. :) Rain last night 20+ mm and this morning 3C. Back to normal! :lol: At this point I will gladly seize every gardening hour I can get below 10C, aka too cold for flies. :twisted:

a week of cool weather kept the plants on the porch. lows were in the 30s a couple days, and there was frost in
some of the lower areas. the temps have ticked up again into the 60s with lows in the 40s for a few days. rain and wind
gusts predicted at 30mph for wednesday may require bringing the plants in once again. normally, once the plants are out
they stay out, but that just isn't happening this year. june first is regarded as the safe plant out date for tomatoes, and the like.
safe is a relative term however, the first couple weeks of june. you best keep an eye on the forecast, and be prepared to protect
plants if they are planted out. raising the plants for 6 to 8 weeks is easy. getting them outside, and intact is sometimes a challenge.

Some MUCH NEEDED RAIN fell in these here parts...slow soaker from ~ 12:00 p.m. CDT on, giving way to heavier downpour after 03:00; looks like ~1 5/8 inches/4.13 cms so far with the promise of more. It'll stay overcast during the overnight to keep all that moisture locked in.

Some as-yet-unplanted vegetable beds were starting to look like parched/cracked salt flats, so I busted up one ~50 sf/4.65 sms with the Garden Claw, then had to crumble a helluva lot more clods than I wanted to.

For once, my timing was good...could starting to stand in faster moving grocery lines be too far off...?
