Gardening
in the Inland Northwest
|
 |
Winter: Freezing
temperatures,
snow and ice. It dips to30°F approximately every
ten years.
We are USDA Zone 5, but we can plant a
large
variety
of plants by using protective methods such as mulches,
tree wraps,
wind breaks and utilizing micro climates for
more
tender
plants.
Spring: It
teases
us with warm weather one day and frost the next. It can
stay cold and wet for quite some time as well. Be prepared
to protect
plants with covers, hot caps or row cover. Planting a little
late is the safest method. May 15 is the average last frost
date.
Summer: Temperatures
can be
quite hot, sometimes reaching 100°F. It’s
a dry season
so we recommend drought-tolerant plants. Plan
to irrigate.
Our long summer days provide lots of sun for
beautiful
flowers. Vegetables grow well, but we do recommend
short-season
varieties when possible.
Fall: The
average date of the first frost is September 15. Begin watching
weather reports at this time in order to protect frost-sensitive
plants. Even after the first frost we can usually expect
several weeks of warm temperature.
