>>I remember my youth in Iowa well. Now I live in Zone 9. In sixty days the torrid heat of summer will arrive. All my winter vegetables will shrivel up and die. Even the tomatoes can't take the heat. Oh well, the tomatoes have been producing well for a couple of months now.>>

 

Where in Iowa? And yes, come July I'll be whining about the heat and humidity but for today, I'm happy as a clam! Melted all day! Where are you now? My neighbors moved to Texas for health reasons and found the climate challenging for an Iowa gardener! They're coping.
