Today i,m filing a flight plan with google to fly old Hwy 12--looking for a better place to live .with more warmth ,aka, growth degree days.. Strangely.one hundred mi south. they grow everything from water melons,to corn and grapes--u name it.. here in spokane we get too much cold spill over from the interior..esp in the spring.. example-last june no growing days until the 27 of june..Soil temps play a big role.
Corn in pasco was almost knee high when my corn was less than one foot high..my garden was a disaster! Pasco has a farmers market It should be spectacular...many hispanics work in farming--they are experts from planting to picking, I,ve always thought..if I was the banker .. would i give a mortgage to a hispanic or a ignoramus from california, who has lots of money. Who would I give the mortgage to ? This spring, i may start driving down to shop for vegtables--starting with aspargus.. you can buy rt out of the field.. fill the van up ..and sell from my front yard , which is one block off ash/maple spokane,s main n/s oneways Of course you can buy salmon from our indian friends for a dollar a pound. that would have to be by special order..BOY< my garden was a disaster, we had only 68 to 70 growth degree days.. inother words. little production..nothing to store..except beans.. i,m trying to find old wood ladders. WE have had 9 mos. of temps in the 60.s or colder..no spring, no fall
