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. :)
It is 9:20 am and warming up, but still snowing. It has warmed up to 16F from a low last night of 7F. There are many apple trees around here just growing beside the road. I pulled off the road in Eldorado Springs, CO and picked a bunch of apples yesterday. I planted four varieties of apples in the yard this year. Also blueberries, nanking cherries, toka plum, two mount royal plums and two butternut trees. I have to get another red plum variety for cross pollination with the Toka plum. Glad I got the garlic planted when I did! There is a ski area just west of my home (Eldora Ski Resort) and I can even see the runs from my living room. It is the last privately run ski area left in Colorado. It is not very big, but also not too crowded.
