Today the temperature reached well over 50 degrees and I felt compelled to tackle some of the daunting winter cleanup in the yard. Since I was planning to spend a few hours outside, I let the girls out to stretch their wings and legs. They were a great help in the garden. Well, not so much. Scramble [...]

Here’s a quick run-down of what’s growing in my garden right now. I’m doing this largely to keep a record, for next year, of what comes around when; perhaps it will also be of some use to others gardening in high and dry places around 5000+ feet, wherever you are. If you live at high [...]

It’s early June and here is what is growing (and edible) in my Colorado garden. Spinach (just getting from tender salad greens to cooking-quality leaves) Chard (we just enjoyed our first batch) Collard Greens (also just had a first batch a few days ago, looking forward to more!) Radishes (finishing off the last of these) [...]
