The Gardening Challenge

Gardening in Colorado is a challenge. Drought alternates with hail. Decomposing granite makes for poor soil. The short season means we have to be poised for action the moment after the last frost of spring. The first frost of autumn is not far away.

My garden is coming along nicely. Our strawberry patch typically struggles along, but this year I have gotten plenty of berries to put on my morning granola.
