Just an update from around 11:00 pm, 8500 ft elevation in Colorado Rockies NW of Golden. A sweltering 16F and snowing. Will be interesting for baseball playoffs vs. Phillies on Saturday in Denver! Ihe cherry, blueberry, apple, plum and grape leaves were green and now look burned by cold. They were supposed to be cold weather varieties. Hope they can make it till next spring!
Yikes! It’s 8am here and a muggy 79. Going to get worse before the day’s out. It’s so humid outside the windows are fogged up. Glad I’m not trying to grow a garden where you are! It’s hard enough here!
OTOH—we can’t grow most apple varieties—they don’t get enough chill hours. That’s the # of hours it stays below freezing. :)
