green thumb


W and I visited the High County Conservation Center's (HC3) community garden in Frisco this summer.  W was really interested in the what was growing in each of the gardens.  HC3 is supposed to start a community garden in Breck next summer, so we may have to try and grow some veggies & herbs next summer.  HC3 also has a green house, so they can grow all year round.  We even got to enjoy some local produce will getting informed on their mission.  They do a great job educating the community on sustainability.


W took all of these photos.  Which will explain the finger in some and the subject of others.
He is quite a budding photographer.




At this elevation, you can only grow things like cilantro, mint, spinach, lettuce, broccoli, carrots, beets and onions.  The growing season is typically only 2-3 mos long.  This last year was a little longer.
