How does the weather there compare to the weather in Price? How long is the growing season there?

I am positive that you are hotter. Yesterday and today the temperature reached 75 and beautiful blue skies. But, it is suppose to drop to the mid 50's for the high tomorrow and the rest of the week. It is basically an arctic desert here, so no humidity-Hooray!

The growing season is very short, 50-60 days. The plants here are well adapted to the short season. Beautiful flower everywhere, just much smaller.

Thank you for your questions, its good to read a friendly email from home.
