Put out the first plants in “Fort Gopher” yesterday. They seem to like being out of the wind. Not past the average “last frost” date, but what the heck.
Fort Gopher is our definitive answer to the vermin and weather problems of trying to garden at 7500’ in New Mexico. A 16x16 5 foot picket enclosure, floored with 1/4” wire mesh and weed barrier cloth, and poly stocktanks for containers.
Any gopher that gets into that fort deserves a medal for perseverence!!!!!
