Where I Garden

My gardens are located along the Colorado Front Range, at an elevation of 7300'. We live on about .8 of an acre, with over 100 Ponderosa Pine and countless scrub oak trees. We get snow anytime up to mid June, so the growing season is rather short. But the sky is crystal blue, and the air is wonderfully clean. I have several gardens that are built to bring in wildlife and nature. We regularly have foxes, coyotes, birds, hawks, squirrel and deer, as well as the occasional black bear and mountain lion. The butterflies and hummingbirds are a constant sight in summertime, and the insect pests are few. Gardening for nature takes care of many problems for me, so I want to share my successes and failures here with you.
