wrote: Thank-you to everone who replied to my query. Yes, I live where we have a short growing season, although temperatures can reach well above 90°F when summer is at its peak. I am near Ottawa, Canada and my zones should be in my signature line. The US and Canada use different scales for their zones; the US zone shown is the equivalent of the Canadian zone. I am just contemplating our weather forecast for today and find myself wishing I were "down south". sigh Temperatures are in celsius: -15°C is about 5F and -34C is about -30F (done in my head). Today..Increasing cloudiness. High minus 15. Cold wind chill minus 34. -- Gardening Zones Canada Zone 5a United States Zone 3a Near Ottawa, Ontario Don't know exact temperature figures, but a friend in Reno, NV has similar conditions -- frost late and early, and a good dose of high heat in the summertime. She keeps starting tomato plants and bringing in green fruit just before the first snow flies. You may want to look into greenhouse arrangements of one sort or another. In a particularly cold spring, I kept tomato plants (putting into bigger and bigger containers) 'inside' 'til they were 2' tall. If the growing season had only been 2 weeks, they would have produced tomatoes. :-) |
