Betsy,
I just spent a week in Granby and Winter Park Colorado. I loved how the flowers looked and came home to my half eaten ,by grasshoppers, plants. I know that I too would hate the short season but the cool weather allows for such deep color and beautiful flowers. I had the most wonderful tomatoes all summer from one of my 16 plants. The little grape tomatoes have produced all summer and continue not noticing the over 100 degrees days or the grasshoppers.

Greetings from the Fire and Ice state of Colorado.

I am so bummed. Yesterday morning(Tuesday) it was a cold 30 degrees at
6am and fortunately I had wrapped my tomatoes for protection at the
house. But when I went out to the community garden where my other
tomatoes and cucumbers were growing, and a good 2000 feet lower in
elevation, all the tops were wilted and black. What gives??? They only
issued a freeze warning for the northern part of the state on the
plains. I HATE THIS PART of living in Colorado!GRRR

  Oh, by the way, it was 50 degrees at the house this morning.

Have a great day everyone and may the frost be late for you all.
