Winter returns to the front range tomorrow

Forecast for up to 6” of snow tomorrow and a low of 15 tomorrow night. All the fruit trees in bloom are screwed and have to take steps to save the cool weather seedlings.

Sucks.

But we can typically plant the cold weather stuff late March. Typically.

I have normally waited for it but on occasion, still get screwed even then.
Only do some cold hardy flowers before then.

today is snowy and in the +20Fs. Supposed to warm up by early next week. The daffodils aren't happy. I'll be starting seeds in a day or so. Won't be planting for weeks yet.

Tomorrow it's supposed to go to 60 degrees. I'm still planning on planting cold weather stuff in a week.
