Amanda Oliveira, of Exeter, an employee for seven years, puts eggplant seedlings into containers for planting in the fields.
Schartner Farms in Exeter hasn't been affected much by this month's weather -- which may have felt colder, but the National Weather Service says is, in fact, warmer than previous Mays.
The greenhouse staff at Schartner reports eggplant planting got bumped back a week and the strawberry fields got some irrigation at midnight on the nights it went below 37 degrees.
National Weather Service meteorologist Charlie Foley cautioned Tuesday that there are still a few more days to go before June, and the temperatures will only get warmer.
