By Irene Shonle, CSU Extension in Gilpin County Native plants are some of the easiest plants to grow if you are a mountain gardener.  As I have been gardening up here for nearly twenty years, I have experimented with a lot of plants.  Some have done great, and some have died.  But, as I always say, “if you’re not killing plants, you’re not trying hard enough.” Because I am a rather Darwinian gardener, I don’t coddle the plants in my garden. They have to make it despite drought, critters, winds, and long winters.  As a result, many of the non-native species have been weeded out.  Over the years, I have ended up with going from about 25% native to probably about 80% native.  And I couldn’t be happier. If you are interested in native plants, please come to the 4th Annual Landscaping with Colorado Native Plants Conference on February 16th at the Auraria Campus in Denver. The Landscaping with Colorado Native Plants Conference promotes the inclusion of native plants in our landscaping to ben

by Yvette Henson I love compost!   There is nothing that I can think of that is more beneficial for soil.   And, we all know that the secret to great gardens is the soil.   While it is more difficult to compost in the mountains, it can be done.   The most common frustrations are that it breaks down more slowly in our cooler summers and it often attracts critters like bears and skunks!   However, once you have successfully made your own compost, added it to your soil and seen your plants response you will know it is worth the extra management to speed up the composting process.   If you still find it too problematic outdoors, you can build a worm-bin or some other indoor composting system. Or once you are a “true believer”, like me, you will do both! A 3-bin composting system Compost has many benefits.   It increases water-holding capacity of sandy soils and improves drainage of heavy (clay) soils.   It also decreases the amount of shrink-swell of clay soils.   It improves soil aeration

By Ginger Baer Every well-seasoned gardener knows that each new year is different from the last.  From variations in temperatures, to variations in moisture, wind, pests, to the variety of plants one can potentially grow.   For the non-season ed gardener, take heart!   Every year has a new challenge, but isn’t it the challenge that keeps many of us going? Troughs used in Community Garden I grow at 9000’ in the Gilpin County Community Garden. As if the altitude alone is not enough of a challenge, in the growing year 2017 we had the added challenge of combating a large influx of Golden Mantled Ground Squirrels and a multitude of pocket gophers. In an effort to improve our plots in the community garden, the CSU Extension office in Gilpin County purchased some metal water troughs. These created a barrier the critters could not dig into, nor climb. And the troughs, measuring 10’ x 3’ x 2’, gave our seniors raised beds in which to garden.  Something that my knees appreciated!

Wajah Japantas Damanik, riang bukan kepalang. Itu karena ia mampu memanen terong Belanda yang ditanamnya di atas lahan seluas 15 rante.

Creamy mashed Rutabaga like my family makes by Ed Powers ‘What are rutabagas?’ was the question I asked myself when introduced to this vegetable by my wife and in-laws.  They had a tradition of having rutabagas for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals, a tradition brought over from England and Canada.  I must admit, I found rutabagas to be very good and we now have them every Holiday Season. It’s like having mashed potatoes, but they are rutabagas.  In Michigan, where we lived, rutabagas were easy to find (grown in Canada and shipped in).  Here in Colorado, not so much.  So, I had to do some research to see if I might be able to grow them at my altitude (7,600’).  When doing the research, I found some interesting information. Rutabaga’s botanical name is Brassica napobrassica, and rutabagas are only called ‘rutabaga’ in the U.S. Throughout the rest of the world, they're known as swedes. This ordinary root vegetable is thought to have originated in Bohemia in the 17th century as a hybri
