probably was a bad year for growing..weve had wierd weather.

remeber tho the united states has several climate zones from swamps to
deserts to frozen tundra and somtimes a sposed to be hot spot is cold and
cold spot hot etc...dry place has a flood and wet spot has a drought.

so different states have different harvest and growing times in minnesota
they were done nearly a month ago..lol

right now here its sposed to be in the 60's but weve had alot of snow and
cold already..tho the claim it will be warm a day or two today and
tommorow...lol
