Where is Spring??

Here in Manitoba winter seems to be stretching on forever.  Where's Spring?

This is our small garden April 11, 2013.  Last year we were working in our garden April 18th, 2012.  We are hoping to be in it at the beginning of May and the latest middle of May.

Our greenhouse is a lovely place to be.  It's nice and warm.  These are our greenhouse tomato plants.  If you look closely you can see that the tomato plants are starting to flower.  Usually we plant some of them in the greenhouse beds end of March and all of them by the middle of April.  This year it has been too cold to plant them in the beds.

Lettuce growing in our greenhouse.  Much better than store bought lettuce.

If you take a look at this weather table you can see that we are below average temperatures.  April 23 looks lovely, but that is 12 days away and weather always changes.  As long as the snow is gone by the first weekend of June I'll survive (that is when we plant out our pumpkins).  Also I'm thankful that we aren't having storms.  The weather in the USA and Eastern Canada sounds scary.
