minus-squareSchmidtGenetics@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-214 天前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.
minus-squareslingstone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 天前Wow. What a difference latitude makes! It’s already inching toward far too hot here in South Carolina.

minus-squareMadzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-29 天前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.
minus-squareSchmidtGenetics@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 天前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.
minus-squareslingstone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 天前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.
minus-squareSchmidtGenetics@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·13 天前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.
