Here are some photos of the area north of town that was burned a couple of months ago. It's really greening up, even with the dryish winter we had. After this 2 feet of snow melts, it's going to grow like crazy!
I'm gardening in the dry brown of Boulder, Co. My garden helpers include a herd of deer that let me know which plants are wildlife resistant. We get blizzards, thunderstorms, hail, lightening, occasional tornados, drought, floods,& hurricane-force winds here so it's a challenge. Oh, and the soil is rocky.
