I’m thinking about moving to the Western Slope.  Palisade is pretty inviting during the height of peach season.

Perennials and woody plants planted between late August and the end of October hit the ground growing the next spring.  It’s also a good time to get plants on sale.

What's the difference between all of the sweet corn varieties?  The main difference is how sweet they are after harvest.

New studies and new mower technology says to leave clippings more often than collecting clippings.

It’s a good time to sow spinach for later this fall and early next spring.  Sow seeds in the garden; keep the area moist for a couple weeks.  You’ll harvest healthy, great tasting spinach in a month or six weeks.  This also gives you a head start in the spring.  The spinach will over-winter and hit the ground growing in early spring.  Sow other salad greens, too.  They won’t over-winter but they will produce great autumn salads.
