HOW HIGH ARE YOU..... now we are talking about altitude here..... How high do you grow? We believe the higher the harder....it iZ. There are ways to determine your altitude of where you grow. GPS....etc... but I thought this may be interesting to find out. BECAUSE the next questions iZ:

so what is the rating scale? weight in lbs + altitude in feet = score? then a 1 lb fruit at 7000ft would beat a 1600lb fruit at 4600ft. weight x altitude = score? that would penalize both low weight and low altitude.

Baker City Oregon

Baker City Oregon is where I am. Coldest spot on the planet is my backyard. Last frost this year was june io. First frost was Aug 25. Funny thing was lt didn't bite my pumpkins until mid to late sept. Won't say what my largest has been. Growing radishes and spinach is a challenge here at 3400 ft. We are lagging way behind on precip. Not even snow on the ground. 43 dgs. right now. Strange.
