I'm totally embarrassed, but I honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm.
You're still getting snow this time of year too right?

My parents make the square kind of cages that he showed made out of wood. My parents use metal fencing materials and make the cage HUGE. My tomatoes don't grow that big. It stays pretty cool at night here, so everything is slow growing.
Nope, 100% serious!I'm totally embarrassed, but I honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm.
No, our last snowfall was late March, with just a sprinkle. We had a our last hard freeze a couple weeks ago, and now I have all these wildflowers sprouting everywhere I've got to identify! How much snow do you have?

I took this photo LAST WEDNESDAY. Violas and Spring bulbs are just so stinkin' cold hardy that they can handle it.
We got another couple inches after I took this photo.
A friend who lives only an hour away from me took this photo on 4/17...
This weekend warmed up enough that the snow melted and today will be in the high mid 50's. I plan to let Mavis out a little bit at lunch time to graze to her heart's content and get some sunshine before coming into a very warm long soak.
We get freezes on and off until JUNE. My last frost date is expected to be the 2nd week of June this year. Last year our hard freezes went into into the 3rd week of June and killed all but one of my watermelon.
I honestly thought that Ohio was similar to this!

It's 53 right now. Wow, I cannot believe you guys are so cold so late!
!While our winter season can be pretty nasty, spring warms up very quickly!
Well, here are some trilliums to cheer your weather up
The 'grass' is wild lupin, which will bloom soon.
And these random sunflowers sprouting from a pile of birdseed! Hoping to see if they bloom.
I feel so bad you guys are still snowy! I hope your warm spring comes sooner.

Yes...most of those really do look like sunflower seedlings! They may not go to flower if they don't get enough light, but it's definitely worth a try! That would be AMAZING! Also, they can be used as tortoise food tooWell, here are some trilliums to cheer your weather up

eh...You'd be surprised what you can adjust to in the name of financial security
On the plus side, I actually really like the cool/chilly summer nights. I feel like my body gets a real re-charge away from the sweat and heat. I also really do love the amount of wildlife around. I've never lived anywhere like this.QUICKLY RUN the TORTOISE INSIDE, but make all the KIDS COME OUTSIDE AND SEE!!!...
Sweeeeeeeeeet! You only really read tailed hawks here. And sometimes kites come to fish in the river. I've only seen an eagle here twice.
That is an AWESOME shot!

Has anyone tried to grow grass inside? As I'm planning on removing my strawberry and tomatoes, and soon to clean Elmo's table anyway, I had what I'm hoping would be an awesome idea.
It's tough, he won't eat it, likes shade (I want it in the back, where there isn't a lot of UVB) and is green. And alive
Tried it?

How exciting! I never really thought about pineapple. Our friends in Hawaii grew white pineapple and made a delicious pineapple upside down cake. Good luck with your new bulbs!
