Had a friend near Rigby, she had to do short corn, buffeted by fenced and a greenhouse in order to harvest anything.<br /> <br />Good news is that we haven't had much of a winter so far this year, so the chances of snow in June may be lower than years past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231305164855240671.post-79493865237819445592014-12-20T20:57:43.789-07:002014-12-20T20:57:43.789-07:00I really want to build a cold frame hoop house.

We get several months of reprieve, but come planting and then harvest season, it's an onslaught. :) Good news is that this means you have extra time to peruse seed catalogs, find short season seeds (that 130 day melon is going to be challenging up north), and plan. Even down south, depending on where you are, it's going to be windy/cold in areas.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231305164855240671.post-81060445279958413092014-12-18T10:03:27.070-07:002014-12-18T10:03:27.070-07:00I'm in Northern New Hampshire.

Kind of depends on which end of Idaho you are headed to. South, you might start a bit earlier, North, much later. But the ones you start first rarely change: it's always the cold tolerant like broccoli and cabbage. If you start warm weather seedlings, be prepared to transplant into ever larger pots, until a couple weeks after your last frost date when the soil has warmed up. You might want to build a cold frame for that if not this year, then next. I've heard of lots of luck with Wall o Water and it's copycats, but I never had any success with it. (it lets you set out plants early and insulates them from the cold).
