About Us
We started growing vegetables 10 years ago in our backyard. Over the years we have added more raised beds and we have planted some fruit trees and grape vines. We are always learning and trying new things in our zone 5 Colorado garden.
Gardening at this elevation has its challenges but we have learned that good soil, good seeds, water and mulch can produce delicious and nutritious food. We also use a number of plants that are natural pest repellents. Some of these pest repellent plants include marigolds, nasturtiums, lavender, mint, basil, chives, garlic, sage, dill, thyme, rosemary, onions, borage and calendula.
We try to keep things simple. We use leaves from neighbors and free wood chips from a local tree cutting business for mulch. We do not use any pesticides or herbicides in our garden. In addition to our own compost, we also obtain compost from Paonia Soil Co in Paonia, CO.
A special thanks to Ken and Gail Kuhns at Peach Valley CSA Farm in Silt, CO for sharing their expertise and local agricultural knowledge with us. We learned so much volunteering at their farm. We miss those fun times and Gail’s delicious farm lunches!
And thanks to our grown kids Jake and Maggie for tolerating our gardening adventures and strange meals containing things like kohlrabi, sunchokes, fava beans and daikon radish.
