Yes. Outside garden is prepared, just gotta bring things in tomorrow, then wrap the rest up. And you, Ryan?

Gotta love Colorado weather!? Crazy!

So how are you all surviving the snow?

Joyorchid · #**1513** 05-12-2014, 09:17 PM

I had about 8 inches on my porch this morning, but its melting nicely now. In 2 days its supposed to be 70 degrees again.

We had so much winter this year in Fort Wayne, Indiana that I would have become totally melancholy if we got 8" of snow. By the time that weather front reached me, it was thundering and lightening--good for the garden. Glad you are alright Joy.

I love the spring snows! Its kinda nice to bring out the hot cocoa and sweaters when its almost summer! Plus, I have all the flowers from my orchids inside, so it makes it OK.

I'm actually in Maui during this cold and nasty storm. However I knew better and did nothing outside because of this very reason. I do, however, worry about my bees, which are brand new to their new home with me and this weather will definitely put them to the test. Last time I checked them they were growing brood (baby bees) so I hope there are enough bees to keep the babies warm.

Also I don't mind the spring snow but I do not like the 20f weather. It's worthless. It kills everything that would have benefitted from the snows water!!!! I'm glad I'm not there. It'd just make me angry.

Actually, Ryan, it never got below freezing, at least here. I just wrapped what little that was outside with row cover. It appears to be OK. The moisture will be great!

Are you getting orchids in Maui?

Pilot · #**1519** 05-13-2014, 03:18 AM

No orchids. At least none yet. Maui doesn't seem to have much in terms of nurseries one can visit. I go to Oahu on Saturday and would like to visit the Kawamotos.

My home weather station is reporting last night it got to 26F. So at least in Parker at 6800', it froze. It is showing 30 now and cloudy. Hope those clouds stay the night! They'll help those temps from bottoming out.

Enjoy the weather in Hawaii. I found a great nursery in Kauai, Orchid Alley. The orchids I purchased got home just when I did in perfect condition. I wasn't growing Neos then so I don't know if they had them.

Anyone interested in the Fukiden on eBay now. I have been watching it but am hesitant because I don't recognize the seller.
