Garden Update

We've had rains most every day now for the past few weeks. The garden is thriving.

Last year's onions have blossoms that the bees love. I left them there last fall wondering what would happen come springtime. Quite a group seed pods there.

The rest of the updated garden pictures are here: http://www.rten.org/ first menu item.

Clean Air & July Rains

At 7500 feet the air is so clean it sparkles in the trees when it rains. July around here means planting rains. The gardens [and the weeds, wildflowers and grasses] are doing wonderfully.


With more moisture in the air we get glorious sunrises like this one.

Summer Garden - 2008

Summer rains have greatly helped the growing here this summer. The garden is flourishing after a week of rains.

This is an organic garden. I use fertilizers from Gardens Alive on the crops. I use naturally composted sheep manure from a friend that runs sheep to get wool for her weaving. Her site is Three Bags Full.



High country gardening is always a challenge. Just when you think the last frost is overwith, it hails. I took the picture from within my office. There was some good sized hail and it's not fun to get caught out in it. This storm was June 28th.


I've put up a gallery of the picture from this morning on my web site. Click here. Top entry in menu.
