People just can't get started," Perkins said. "With the cloud cover and there's a lot of moisture in the air, things are just not performing as they should."Bernadette Mellon, a customer at the garden center, is eager to start planting."It's probably delayed our gardening for about three weeks now," Mellon said. "I have more to do, and I hope the weather holds up, so I can get this done by tomorrow hopefully."Perkins said people can start planting now, but they'll just have to deal with wet soil, which, on the bright side, can make digging easier."You can still plant," Perkins said. "Just keep an eye on your plants for disease and insects because that seems to be hitting things earlier than normal."

Murphy signs 1-year law lifting 2% cap for school levies in some districts. Is it enough?

It also sets aside $44.7 million in additional “stabilization” aid grants for these districts. Murphy signed another law permitting some school districts facing cuts in state aid to submit budgets within five days of the fiscal year 2025 appropriations act − giving them a grace period to finalize budgets.
