"It's been awful actually" Gardeners impacted by wet, chilly weather in Burlington County
CINNAMINSON, N.J. (CBS) -- The frequent bad weather the Philadelphia region has been experiencing, particularly on weekends, is having an impact on gardeners.With Friday evening marking the 20th weekend of the year, CBS News Philadelphia's meteorologists said it'll be the 16th with rain.Beth Perkins of Haines Farm & Garden in Cinnaminson said the weather has been challenging this year."It's been awful actually.

"Just keep an eye on your plants for disease and insects because that seems to be hitting things earlier than normal."
