Hope you get some more moisture (preferably rain?).

We can certainly use all the rain we get, and the mountains need the snowpack pretty bad this year. We've already had several good wildfires spark up around us, and with a meager 69% snowpack, we're looking at all kinds of fire restrictions this summer. I plan on getting out into the back country, but that's never any fun without a campfire to sit by and cook my coffee on. I really wouldn't mind the snow either, if it weren't for the plants I've got outside. They are in the greenhouse, but it's not heated, so I'm a little concerned there. We'll see how it goes.

This winter has been absolutely gorgeous. We might have hit single digits a couple times, but nothing like normal. A couple winters ago, we were down in double digits negative, so this year has been great. April is usually the wettest month for us, so I'm hoping we see a lot more moisture.

We don’t have a green house, but we do have a few small areas in the spring that can take a hit from frost. We just cover them with plastic and hang a 100 watt bulb underneath it for heat.

We have several outdoor outlets, and one of them is right by several of my raised beds, so don’t even need an extension cord.
