As opposed to the Eastern Shore where everything grows, I can attest to the travails of gardening at 7500’ in New Mexico.
I’m going to write a book... “Plants Die, That’s What They Do.”
Chapter 1: The Indestructable Pocket Gopher
Chapter 2: Ground Squirrels and the Bulbs They Dig Up
Chapter 3: First Frost September 5th
Chapter 4: Last Frost June 11th
Chapter 5: No Rain for 6 Months
Chapter 6: Apple Crop Every 8 Years Whether You Want It or Not
Chapter 7: The Greenhouse Heater Always Fails When its -10
Chapter 8: CALICHE is it Soil or Rock?
Chapter 9: Bears in the Compost Bin
You get the drift.
OUCH.........that’s gotta hurt.
