 It's a late spring. But every year, it's an early spring, or late spring, or late spring frost.. etc. What matters when you're planting your cold loving crops is soil temperature, not air temperature. These are my peas, I planted them back on March 22nd! It's april 18th and they're growing nicely, though i do wish they were taller. A soil thermometer comes in really handy when you're planting your spring crops. You take your soil temp and know you can plant peas, spinach, lettuce, etc.. and you've got a head start.

This is my March planted spinach, still tiny, but i got it in so early I'll be able to harvest that much sooner, and that is always a good thing!
