A Weather Forecast Site That Seems To Be WAY More Accurate

Mexico Weather Stations Search Engine

Try typing in inhabited place that you are "sure" would not be large enough to be listed. You might be surprised.

Five hundred? I've made 500 posts? Jeez maybe this tells me I should spend more time in the garden :-)

You are not the only one...

There are more than one Nomads that should spend more time in the garden IMO

All it takes are some macetas and potting soil. In warmer climes a five gallon capacity pot filled with potting soil can yield so many cantaloupe in summer, it'll stun you. Melons are cheap per lb., but at fifty cents a pound, a three pound melon ain't cheap, and fifty cent melons aren't common.

We grew at least 40 LARGE Bell Peppers last year in 16 square feet a raised bed with controlled irrigation and careful application of compost tea...YUM! Container gardens are cool.

Oops...I don't have a weather station, and here in the mountains the changes aren't subtle enough to need a machine! I could dream of something interfaced with my computer that would give me nice seasonal graphs and stuff, but I'll put that money into the Baja travel fund!

When the last of the snow melts of the north side of Black Butte, it is safe to put plants in the ground. The old Italians know.
