Misty, the sit and sulk comment applies to seedlings that have emerged, but the soil is too cool for them to put on any growth. Squash ( all types) tolerate cooler weather. I like to plant about a week before my last frost date ( April 15) so mine went in Friday., Hopefully to emerge after this next cold front passes through. They will grow in 70-80 degrees, so once up and frost is past, they do well. Okra, lima beans, and southern peas really need heat so they are the last of summer crops to be planted.
