@hkyfvr what time of year does it start to warm up for you?

3w
comment
hkyfvr

We get warm days to tease us in March and April but we can still get snow in April. May gets warmer. We cannot put annuals safely in the ground until after May24th without the risk of frost. Makes for a shorter summer than you have. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️
