We know gardening can be TOUGH here at high altitude. We’ve got short growing seasons (only about 100 frost-free days), huge temperature swings, and poor soil.

Deciding which vegetables, herbs, and flowers you want in your garden is the fun part, but then comes the task of planning and planting.

Once you know what you want to plant and when you want to start planting, you can get down to business.
