| I live in Boyne City. This is in the northern part of the lower peninsula.
Now I haven't lived here in a very long time, not since I was a kid. I know it becomes cooler here sooner because it's in the northern portion of the United States and where I live is in the northern part of the lower peninsula.
Even so, the weather for this time of year seems very awkward and unusual. It's cold and windy for July; it doesn't even feel like it's summer, rather it feels like it's fall.
I was planning on planting some bush green beans and cucumbers but my question is, due to the weather right now is it too cold to plant them now? If I were to plant them it would be from seed. I don't want to plant them only to have them die because it's too cold for them to germinate and thrive. I know green beans and cucumbers are warm weather vegetables, that's why I'm asking.
My other concern is regarding cool weather veggies. Cool weather veggies I want to plant are lettuce, spinach,
carrots, and turnips. Now I know that if the weather
is warm and/or hot they'll have a difficult time growing
and germinating.
However I know they still need a certain temperature range
to germinate. My question is, if I plant my cool weather veggies now, will they have a difficult time germinating and/or not germinate because the weather is too cold? Would it be okay if I plant them now? If I do so now, is it going to be too cool for them and will they not germinate?
