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).
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.
Same thing happened to my pepper plants, I am hoping they can get thru it, but I doubt I will get more then seeds from them this year.
It’s always risky planting before the end of May. Last frost is around May 28. These were a little too big for my cloaches, but these were bought starters so semi hardened and I’ve had them in a cold frame for a week already.
Oh no! I don’t have any frost on mine but I have several varieties of tomatoes and peppers that have been mostly uncovered for cool nights down to 40-42 F and have been worried about them a bit still.
I tried planting early too… I’m not thrilled with how mine are doing, but at least they’re not frostbit yet. RIP
