"cold wet spring" of the PNW has not been an issue at least for the last 3 seasons.
Yes, it is a change but is it permanent? I remember having my tomatoes die off after a frost 15th May 1986 or 7. They were in an unheated greenhouse. Most people are stuck on the Victoria day weekend as their planting date. One young Doc I spoke with recently was shocked I would pant before then I try to go with whatever the weather is bringing us and chance early sowings.
Seems unusual to me to have two such warm years in a row. The flooding in the interior is barely over and the fires are already beginning. This does not jibe with my memory of how things were in the past.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that June does not cool down and get too wet, as it often has in the past. Juneuary, you know.
