How's Your Weather

[Farmall]

Always tempting end of April but I have seen people buy flats at nursery’s, plant like crazy and have frosts the first week of May.... I always wait until a week before Memorial Day... no choice

I put my chili plants into pots from cups yesterday, was about to put them out in the orangerie/greenhouse but they ended up inside on the windsills.

That was pure luck, Tonight we had this winters first snow, and alot of it with cold temps and alot of wind. Strange weather indeed!

I hope I am not to early, but 4 plants went to their summer home, sun is coming up its gonna be a wonderful day. I usually dont go outside until April 15th.

Have had a string of frost free nights. As I have said before I have moved my cannabis to the grow tent in the unheated barn as the basement is over run with veggies. I am heating the tent only with the (2) 600 watt Viparspectras. Has worked out well. However the forecast for these early hours was for 25 degrees. I set my alarm for 2:00 AM, and checked them at 3:00 AM finding them content at 52 degrees with my outdoor sensor reading 27 degrees. Another potential pitfall traversed without wasting electrons with a goddamn electric heater.

The Springs right now is risky territory. 122 known Covid-19 infections. Very difficult to know the real number since it is next to impossible to get a test kit. With 2 trillion being dumped into the waiting hands of the investor class as well as trillions spent on death and destruction the paltry amount spent on testing for this disease is an outrage.

I use to live in Colorado Springs on the Academy, watch tornados fly over Colorado springs into and bouncing off the mountains was a bit of a rush. Nothing like out west where you could watch it coming for hours. Or for a couple of days watch your dog run away from it.

Lots of transplanting to be done to grow bags, but I am waiting until a couple of autos finish, and a couple of photos I will be doing light deprivation for an early harvest. My 5'X 5'X 80" tent would be a little overcrowded with transplanting now.

Since the arrival of the pagan goddess Oestra it is Springtime in the Rockies. (by the way Oestra is where from easter is derived). Beautiful sunshiny weather however with quite a bit of wind for the next three days. This usually translates into tornadic weather down in the low lands so look out below!

Best part of this no freezing so I have transferred my cannabis to the grow tent in the barn. I am running 2 600 watt Viparspectras throughout the night for heating as well as light. I am bogoing with two for the price of one.

Planting nearly same time as yours JohnEmad it's a crap shoot LOL. I just don't like planting 2-3 anymore because of rot. I wait now till late May and first 2wks of June. One just can't predict steady forecasts seems. I'm purchasing more produce from the farmers markets on the weekends. Not planting nearly as much veggies as I use to. Mostly flowers and perennials. Keeping it easy. We want to use our travel trailer more than gardening anymore LOL

[JohnEmad]

We are in a snow and cold for a couple days followed by sun and melting. The sea/saw battle lasting from March to May. Planting gardens here is usually after May long weekend or even into June.
Our front yard shows the wild critters including, deer, rabbits, birds, squirrels, cats and more frequently pass through our place.

I was surprised when I went out yesterday morning we only had a inch or so and most of it is gone already

SoOrbudgal I had bigger dogs most of my life but the ci's are in a league of their own. More like smal, loud but friendly aliens than dogs really. I love them alot! =)

RagWeedDWC Yeah, I rather hang with dogs than with humans most of the time. Or animals in general

[RagWeedDWC]

They love to communicate and have a lot to say :-) Love all dogs, not so much cats and prefer big dogs. They move into your soul and never leave.

[SoOrbudgal]

Now that's funny what a kick LOL. Look at that little one sniffing she so cute. We had short hair chi brother and sister had them from 7wks old till both passed a couple months from each other. They were 17yrs old. what personalities but yappers LOL

[swegrow]

Sure!

(Tried to learn my boy to ride on him last summer, but both of them hated it so I shut it down. Would have been cool though =)
