Snow last night!! More forecast for tonight, with rain in between. That's the problem with high altitude gardening!! Very hard to get seedlings in and thriving when they keep getting beat down with the cold white stuff.

Sure glad it is you and not me!! I am watching my fruit trees and praying God does not send a late hard frost like last year. Gardening has to be a real challenge for you in Colorado. Hope it warms up for you soon.

Are you near Cortez?

I ate some good Italian food there, once. Ninos? Neros?

Also there was a German restaurant in a little town somewhere near there.

We're in full spring in the lowlands of Oklahoma.

I believe it! One year when I lived in Denver our last snow of the season was June 15th...and our first snow of the next season was September 15th! lol I loved it, and I miss it so much! Sorry it's bad for you...wanna trade? You take my place in Okahoma and I'll take yours in Colorado, lol.

No snow here, yet, but coming in tonight. Cold all day. Seedlings were happy all day in the new greenhouse, and are now back in the laundry room tonight. High altitude gardening is in a league of its own, for sure. We are 8000', and can have frost anytime. My garden froze last year in the middle of August. Hope we don't have a repeat of that this year.

That snow you got last night was probably from the system that came through here the night before -- we only got a couple of inches out of it (although it might have been more if it hadn't warmed up some), but my mother and step-father, who live about an hour away and almost a thousand feet higher (we are at 4200'), got closer to eight inches out of it. It was mostly gone both places by late afternoon, though. I've heard it said that an inch of snow in April is worth some amount of fertilizer (can't remember the amount). Don't know why, but the moisture was welcome, anyway!

We are needing rain so badly, I think I would take a bit of snow to get it.

We are on the Palmer Divide in Colorado and they are calling for 14 inches. Yesterday I was wearing shorts and flip flops, today it is Carharts and mittens!
