Looks like good ole Mother Nature wants her say on the growing season.... Getting very cold again... snow and freezing temps... And the plants want outside....

I'm asking that you resign from your GPC position since that's a position that shouldn't bash or accuse another grower of wrong doing without 100% proof

I have not seen direct evidence of Wizzy involvement. I might have missed something or is it guilt by reason of friendship?

Wow. How bad is a post like that JL??? My second year and know I know why people don;t want to comment on this site. I recently retired and was looking for this site to be informative and fun!! Far from that recently!!Weather is looking promising here Wiz...don't send it this way.T

Chance of snow here tonight. Just like every other year, I haven't built any cold frames yet. Maybe i should just build some temporary planters instead, and keep my seedlings inside where it is nice and warm.

Looked like a good global warmed spring here and then back to reality.Pretty easy to get frost and snow at 5340 ft elevation-better than a lot of 100 degree weather that we'd get if at sea level.At least vine borers cant fly in our thin air.Good luck to everybody this year- may everyone grow a PB.

Yikes Wiz, it will get better. We had a colder and snowier than usual winter, so we are betting on a nice summer and a warm fall...bring it on.

85 here today, upper 60's and rain this weekend. Gonna be a cold one, I might have to gut a horse and sleep inside it.

We are looking at a few cloudy, wet days with highs in the 50's and lows around 40. Our garden is only at 800 ft. elevation, but the hills around us go up to 970. And the valley below us turns into a narrow winding, tree-lined rock canyon. So air can't flow through and cold air sinks in. On cold, cloudless calm nights, we get frost when others don't

You live in a tough spot Wiz but you always pull it off come fall time.

Not too bad here yet. I just checked my weather station and at 8:25 pm, it's 28 degrees with only a breeze of 12 mph wind.

5-8" on snow at 25 for a low this Saturday....I hope to put my plantZ in on Sunday... The window of opportunity is small.

Thanks PC.. The GPC has lots of new ideas brewing for growers...going to be exciting.
