Re: website

David,
    Colorado Springs is about an hour south of Denver. I believe you could
take 5 days off my figures for the last frost date there....May 10-15.
    If you move to the Rockies proper expect a short growing season. My
shortest since I moved here 6 years ago was 85days. LAst snow was June 10
and the first one was Sept 5. Depressing for a Midwestner!!!

betsy
It's starting to spit snow temp 31
