    I feel like growing tropical perennials in a subarctic climate is about to cause me to "level up" as a gardener.

    Yup. And get quite a bit more expensive than sticking some seed in the dirt and walking away.

    How long are the days? Cuz I think the sun being on all night might make you level up again.

    During summer solstice there is about 22.5 hours of direct sun in the area give or take about 2-3 weeks in each direction

    July 4, 1776. The day that my country's founders and one of my ancestors decided to reject monarchy and develop a nation designed on principles of freedom.

    I haven't been around recently but I can say that when I returned from vacation my plants were huge and loaded!

    Glad to hear that your plants did so well in your absence. When I return from vacation, my plants are swarmed with aphids.

    for 2+ weeks I've watched almost every storm system just blare right past here to the North XD. Need rain bad.

    Oh man, I'd gladly give you as much of ours as you'd like! It has rained everyday for over a month here... And it never rains here! Lots of landslides going on in the canyons.

    TNR that sounds pretty crappy, last May we had a really cool and rainy month...just some sort of middle ground would be nice

    The plan we're getting rid of is a mobile hotspot (until recently the only viable option in extreme rural areas). Overages are killer, internet usage itself and website coding aren't keeping up with data usage plans at all. I'm not even close to being an "average" internet user, I barely use it in comparison to people who watch netflix etc...using up hundreds of gigs every month on an unlimited plan and paying a fraction of what I have access to here.

    Companies have been leaving rural folks in the dust when it comes to internet availability for 20 years now. I was using dial up out here up until 2008 if that tells you anything. Satellite has only become a reasonable option recently with technology advances. It doesn't help that the county keeps blocking progress because of rural regulations and ordinances.

    Not in Virginia, my plants suffered greatly last year from an overly rainy May, I'm hoping it gets most of it out of its system before them. Our low temps for the next week are about 45-50 XD

    Just started round 3 of my peppers and started some culling. Decided not to grow some of the wilds because of my impending move

If anyone is interested in how easy it is to manipulate US citizens to vote for you,fire up your lawn mower when your grass doesn’t need cut, then listen for the inevitable cacophony of small engines that follow.
