Still struggling to escape Winter's grip here on the Great Plains. Not too bad today with a high of 49 (no wind an added bonus here). We are looking at snow on Sunday though.

Thanks Debbie! We are all hale and hearty here in Iowa. We gotta be hearty or else we'll blow away lol

Yes but what does that mean for gardening? I've seen high elevation adjustments for recipes so that tells me something is different. I've heard that you have to take a couple of days to adjust to the altitude when you visit Denver. Kya and Dizzy do you notice an effect on the plants you grow?

You give me hope Mike. We just have an acre but it was part of a corn field 10 years ago.
