Re: Denver Update - or Growing Pumpkins in a Desert
Kevin
Your weather sounds similar to the weather here this year. Probably less
humidity
here though. We've officially received less than 5" of moisture of any kind
since
Jan 1st. Last week was in the 90's, low humidity, & 25 - 40 mph winds almost
daily.
Glad my land borders an irrigation canal!
Do you or anyone else on the list know of a weigh off site near or to the north
of
Denver? My pumpkins are 2 or more weeks behind yours & probably won't do
quite as well, but I can always hope.
