    Big surprise when I opened current weather. It’s only 3 degrees at 5:00 this morning.

          I'm worried about stressing a crop that has 0 rain in 2025 more than the wind. Even the weeds are struggling.

              Waiting with bated breath to spray the peas. My crop guy says I need to right away. I’ll take his word cause I’ve never grown them before. But bloody wind is relentless.

                Will he stand behind cool overnight temps and potentially severe flashing ?
                “ should” be ok but morning temps can drop below 5c unexpectedly with hard nw winds during the day
                always a crap shoot with peas and certain herbicides

                  Areas this morning were at only 3c this morning in the SE .
                  That becomes a problem this time of year , when forecasts are for lows of 7-8c but fall below 5c
