Still a foot or two deep in the forest where the sun can't get to it. Just this week we are finally getting into a weather pattern that's favorable for melting. Just to put our weather patterns here into perspective... I don't remember ever having a month of April where it didn't freeze overnight at least a few times. As far as gardening, our official date of last frost is the end of May. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
