Spring has not sprung!

The year 2011 is cool here in the northland. Elsewhere there are record tornadoes.  It's Memorial Day weekend and usually the garden is mostly planted by now. This year the soil isn't beckoning yet. We still have nights of patchy frost ~ read frost in Drammen. The herbs were left out in a pot the night before last and the purple ruffles basil is finally showing signs of recovery.
