    Frosty this morning

    Nice and white this morning with local weather stations recording -2 here east of Edmonton. Canola is about half seeded including my own. With how warm May has been so far, I did not think it would freeze any more this spring but it did. Glad I did not seed canola any earlier. Nothing like a few spring freezes to get it off to a rocking start. Forecast two days ago was for a low of +4.

      Left the tomatoes out and they froze, even with the smoke.

        Dry frosts are never a good thing

          A few times in my farming career there have been frosts right after a hot spell when you would not expect them.
          Extreme swings in temp happen in a dry climate.

            I can remember picking rocks by hand on Easter break from school and it being hot out. Then having to sc**** frost off the tractor seat to go seeding later on. Wearing winter coat in AM and no shirt in afternoon.

            And wind can remember quitting seeding because wind was blowing seed out of the seed cups on the discer. and out of the seed box when trying to fill them.

              Looks like coldest air in a pocket south of border

                Froze here last night hard enough to smoke 90% of the volunteer canola. Flea beetles should take the other 10% fairly easy as they are hard at work.
