ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL JUNE

It must be all because my wife planted tomatoes and flowers Sunday afternoon. Okay, okay, it was around 70 degrees then, but NEVER plant in Flagstaff before Memorial Day. Sure enough, yesterday the news folks said to expect the wind to bring in rain and maybe an inch of snow. At 6:00 this morning we had at least 4" of wet heavy snow on our deck and it was still coming down at an impressive rate. The roads were covered with the easily navigable layer of white slush, but as we got closer to town the layer got thinner and eventually disappeared from the roads. By late morning the precip had ended and started to melt off the grass - a typical Flag spring event. We had covered the plants, but only time will tell if they make it. With the recent snow and a clear night in store, the temp may drop too low for the plant's survival.
