  Here in western Washington, we still have late winter. All of the growing things are about 6 weeks behind "normal." You'd think we were still in end of January first of February it you only looked at the earliest blooming trees.
  
  Wonder if would be smarter to stick to cool weather veges all this growing season.
  
  Would really like to try 3 sisters, but very worried about the number of growing days.
  
  Thanks

  When is your average last frost date there? Ours is May 24. A looong way off. The forecast is calling for 6 inches of snow this weekend. I start a lot of seeds indoors and grow cultivars that need a growing season short enough for here. And pray for early warmth in the spring.
