Frost danger for me in the southeast of North America passed around the end of March, I believe. It amazes me to think frost is still a danger for anyone. Just how far north are you?
Not even that far north really. In Calgary Alberta. The US border is less than a 3 hour drive away.
Growing season is less than 120 days as well. So some stuff can’t be grown from seed.
Wow. What a difference latitude makes! It's already inching toward far too hot here in South Carolina.
When I lived in Montana, you couldn't plant anything outside before mother's day. One year, we got six inches of snow in June (an outlier).
In New England we also dont plant outdoors until mother's day. Its wild too because this last week our lows at night were 40°-45° with heavy rains.
My tomato seedlings are not.. doing well.
Montana seems beautiful, but that's insane to me.
Oh to make it funner, it was 26c last week, and will be 27c next week as well.
There’s no real spring, straight from cold to heat.
Fun. For us, much of the winter we have days getting up well above 21c (or 70 F for our non-metric foolishness). Of course, then we'll have a week or two below freezing. I guess weather is crazy all over.
Hah, we have a rather unique weather phenomenon up here. I learned a little ago, it causes stuff in NE States as it goes too.
often from below −20 °C (−4 °F) to as high as 10–20 °C (50–68 °F) for a few hours or days, then temperatures plummet to their base levels.
