Most beautiful and mild winter I’ve ever seen here in Western Colorado...been in the upper 60’s - 80’s from January to March, only real snow we had was on Christmas. April hits and we got snow yesterday! Thank goodness for the greenhouse!!! 2 inches between 9AM and noon yesterday, and then it melted away. We DO need the moisture, however, so I’m not going to complain. Snowpack in the hills was @ 69% of normal until the last couple days, projecting fire bans and no fireworks for the 4th for us. Let’s hope the moisture was enough to keep my summer camping trips warmed with camp fires!

Eight tomatoes and ten peppers have been transplanted to the garden. We’re still using the frost covers, mainly for too much sun.
We uncovered the peppers and have bird netting over the pipe framework.

I planted radish seeds and will put in some onion sets this weekend. Wife’s final seed starting article was in last Wednesday’s “The Lake Today.” You’ll find in under “features.”

You live in beautiful country, but it would be too cold for me! Hope you get some more moisture (preferably rain?).
