Well, last year we had our last frost on June 10th. Despite that, the entire valley had an amazing, huge bumper crop of apples. Including our orchard! Gallons of sauce in the root cellar. Finished crabapple season with 98 pints of Crabapple Salsa. We use it a lot, great on fried eggs.
I know spring is coming, because the goats kept coming!
Sunrise still runs around 20*F through 32*F. Snow is rarely an issue, as this is basin/range high desert. It's not supposed to get below 32 tonight, so I'm leaving the greenhouse open - it's good for the lettuce, greens and peas to get some chill, keeps the produce sweet. We don't plant anything tender in the ground while there's still snow on the tallest peak in the visible (to us) Stillwater Range.
