Here at 8500 ft elevation in the Colorado Rockies it gets cold at night which hurts certain things I try to grow. Potatoes did well again this year. Turnips and collard greens did well. Have many immature delecta squash, hope they mature. Tomatoes are slow and pole beans are slow. Low night time temperatures vary, mainly 50’s and 60’s, but have had many nights in the 40’s and one night last week it got down to 35F. I have two pots with tomatoes so that I can bring them indoors.

I plan on starting some tomatoes from the stalks of the sweet million for growing this winter indoors and also planting a couple of green pepper plants. Maybe some spinach.
