Snow predicted here in the high Colorado Rockies for the next week. Trying to figure out when the right time to plant potatoes, turnips and rutabagas will be.
Turnips are a cool weather crop, but in CO that’s probably another month.Here in So. Missouri I’ve got turnips in some big buckets in the driveway & they’re already about 8” high. I’ll have them out in another month & then use the buckets for summer squash. (I’m old so I just container-garden now.)
When I gardened in Denver, the season was maybe 4 months long. Hail in June, snow on Sept. 6th, etc. Here it’s a good 7 months.
It is still raining here on the Redwood Coast and we are at 175% of “Normal” with normal being 32” vs 52” today and it is raining this morning. Have only got 2/3rds of our strawberries planted and no mulch or drip lines on those yet. Every thing is behind schedule and getting worse as Lady Bender needs a knee replacement very bad.
