.. i,m seriously considering moving back down towards Portland.Or. Spokane is usually north of the jet stream for 3 or 4 months a year. but For some reason now Spokane was north of the jet stream for : oct, nov, dec, jan, feb, march, april, may and this year june except.for the 28,29 and 30th. The plants will not grow until 55 to 60 degrees and they need 85 to 110 growth degree days..I believe we had 3 days in june and was hot july, august, and half septseptember. That means, we totaled aproximately 78 consecutive growing days. Not enougth, for corn and tomatoes or me
Well it seems it,s always cold/dry or hot/dry in spokane.. Today it is raining enough to wet the road.. It,s amazing, storm after storm going by spokane.. You can see lightning and hear booms--all 5 miles away...Strangely, we seem to have cool air flowing downriver off of Lake Couer de lane and the mtns... all nice and good in the summer but year around we have a heat bubble over the spokane area...so we have delayed springs... In checking the mean monthy temp and number of "growth degree days" comparing bellingham, portland, and the tri-cities, it is apparent that Spokane is too cold for tomatoes and corn some years. If we north of the Jet stream, we enjoy canadian weather,,,
