Hey neighbor, we are roughly 7000 +/- a 100 or so. We tend to get whatever weather Palmer Divide gets. I'm hopeing for the rain.

Thank you. I think I'll wait till next week maybe by then I can start to do some serious planting. Gardening in Colorado is always a challenge to say the least. We do need the moisture so much, so I will just try to continue being patient :barnie It did help that I was able to put some...

I have 9 cabbage plants and 5 BS all pretty good size. Just how cold hardy are they? We are suppose to get some heavy spring snow or at the very least heavy rain, but cold night temps 28 I think was the lowest. If I plant them and mulch will they survive? I have never done cabbage and last...

Ok got my strawberries in and mulched over with straw and I will be able to cover that bed with a sheet or plastic if need be. Every one of the crowns was growing so I am glad got them in the ground.

How funny I checked on mine today and mine are also starting to grow. I am planting tomorrow and I'm going to mulch heavily with straw as we are expecting heavy snow on Thursday and Friday, I may cover with a sheet as well, if it is going to get really cold :)

Well I'm happy I'm able to put down my garden mix (sheep,cow, humus and compost) in both my new gardens today and DH is on his way into town to get the mega tiller so we can get it tilled in. DH took the next week off so we can get alot done including getting the plastic up on the greenhouse...

Finally!!! I got to plant something :weee I put some onion sets in. My seed potatoes came in today so it was a really good day. :rainbow-sun

I got my strawberries yesterday but we are expecting snow tomorrow and possibly on Tuesday so I am holding mine in the fridge for now. Got the email today that my seed taters are on their way from Territorial Seed :weee . I have 30+ mater seedlings in my back room, 40+ pepper seedlings(hot and...

Great info from CSU Wifezilla-thank you. I think I'm going to shoot for mid April/May for most stuff. We are out in Falcon, I still have snow drifts covering one of the gardens and I heard tonight they are calling for snow tomorrow and another blizzard Sat. I guess we are going to make up for...

Thank you for the info. I have several that I can do that to now. That will be a nice way to spend the day indoors had a blizzard yesterday, and it is still blowing pretty hard out.:)

So you can transplant the tomatoes. I started a bunch of heirloom tomatoe seeds and they are leggy. I asked a gardening friend if I could transplant them to deeper pots and she said no that they needed to become root bound in the peat pots so they would be ready to go in the garden. It didn't...

The bluebirds are back The wind is blowing hard The lilac is starting to bud My tulips are starting to poke their noses up And we are expecting a snowstorm on Monday, that is a definate sign of spring around here :) My chickens are backwards they give me oodles of eggs all winter then slow down...

Wasn't quite surewhere to put this sorry if wrong place. I am in zone 5, have had a bamboo(cold hardy variety) in the ground for 2 seasons and it just isn't doing well. I was wondering if I can dig it up now and put it into a pot and try to nurse it back to health. Should I keep it outside...

I have bought seeds from Gurneys for about 10 years now and I have bought trees from them. Their guarntee is awesome. I have only ever used 1 coupon at a time, but they are so nice to deal with give them a call and ask. Kim

Hi Everyone Thank you for all your replies. I have grown taters for about 4 years now and yes you need to use a 3 year rotation, and yes taters and maters are both of the nightshade family so both can get the same cooties, I just wasn't sure how far cooties spread:idunno We are starting a new...

Well I guess they will go to seperate gardens just to be safe.

Does anyone know how far apart maters and taters should be? I have always planted them in completly different gardens, but I have a new garden area, that I could put both in and they would be roughly 10 ft apart is that far enough? I have read they should be kept apart because of early and...

I love growing potatoes, we had a rough growing year last year, really cold well into late May, then really dry, then really hot, then soaking rains for a month so I figured my taters would be a big failure, just too many extrems. I had King Harry and Cranberry Reds in the ground. The King...

Well I thought I posted earlier, must have missed the submit button I love your greenhouse, beautiful job. Mine will be 12'x20', I'm planning to use a kerosen heater for those really cold times. I would like to be able to keep some fresh lettuces' and greens going for me and for my chickens...

Hi farmerlor, gosh I haven't been on in a long time, nice to see someone else from the plains. I'm trying heirloom tomatoes this year and putting up a greenhouse, with the hopes of being able to grow some lettuce and greens all year round. I am also going to give sweet potatoes a shot. Any...
