It sure can't be done in Minnesota. About the same time the first melon is done, snow starts flying. Well, almost as soon.

Brr. I wouldn't be able to live any further north than Ohio. Way too long of a winter.

Actually winter is nice. It's great having a time when you can't, and I mean absolutely can't do much other than throw a piece of wood on the fire, pour a big beer, and sit and watch the latest Netflix. It's a nice feeling.
