We actually had frost two weeks after our supposed last frost date so I guess it is happening everywhere. Now it is in the toasty 80's during the day with magnificent thunderstorms (unless you're an airplane pilot). Gotta love the midwest.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13054205963916941320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-33745630541431073322007-05-31T12:32:00.000-06:002007-05-31T12:32:00.000-06:00Oh poor you!

Maybe you could try starting your plants from seeds somewhere warm in the house infront of a sunny window, or does that not exist at 9000 feet?

I think I’d be depressed too with only 3-months of actual gardening time. Does the snow and cold temperatures keep the weeds to a minimum? <BR/><BR/>Did you plant the sweet peas when you got home or are they still in their containers? If they’re not in the ground, they should be alright for a while if they’ve got proper light and water. <BR/><BR/>After reading your post, I’m going to stop complaining to anyone who’ll still listen to me about the sandy soil and lack of sunshine and consider myself fortunate that I’m not contending with snow on the 26th of May. <BR/><BR/>My offer is still open if you want to come bask in the humid, dank, clammy fog and yank weeks with me. Have a wonderful Memorial Day…I hope the snow melts as quickly as it appeared.Litzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15797830477221024642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-12716062043774076832007-05-25T09:01:00.000-06:002007-05-25T09:01:00.000-06:00Bless your heart!
