Well, every year is a bit different, but this year we've had more rain and cool weather so it's late spring feeling now. Most things, except for bedding plants from the nursery, are not yet in a blooming stage let alone anywhere near harvesting. My raspberries today have both flowers and just the beginning of tiny green berries.

I'm at about 5,000 ft. above sea level in a large valley in the Rockies in western Montana.

The latitude is 45 degrees north.

The USDA hardiness zone is 4

We have summer usually in August unless July is summer and August start feeling like fall, or it's one of those years when it can snow any time. ;-)

The winter is deep snow and at least 2 weeks of below zero temps.

Because of that, we really appreciate summer.
