   No fooling. If you plant before the end of the first week   
   in June, you risk a freeze.  I take the risk and plant last   
   week in May.  Only been nailed once.   
      
   And sometimes we get a freeze as early as the first   
   week in September.   
      
   So you really want everything to come to fruition   
   in 60 days.   
      
   And it it gets too hat in the summer, you risk   
   things bolting.   
      
   How farmers, whose livelyhood depends on it, put   
   up with the crap, is beyond me.  It must be a calling.   
   Maybe it is the feels of a good soil in your hands.

   Our dirt is very water resistant.  So a snow melting   
   snow is ideal as it will actually soak in.  A quick   
   rain just mostly runs off
