Hello from Southern Colorado
Hello from the base of Pikes Peak. I've been attempting to garden off and on since 1985. This is my second year working on SFG. Last year, my first attempt at SFG, was my most successful season at gardening despite a devastating summer hail storm and some neglect.
I discovered SFG while searching on the web for how to improve my garden and soon ordered Mel's book. Any suggestions on how to better what I'm doing is welcome.

Re: Hello from Southern Colorado


You have already taken the second-best step after starting SFG by joining this Forum. IMO

There is so much info here you may need some guidance. Ask questions, then as you know what questions to ask you can use the search box in the upper left hand corner of this page. I find the problem is what words to use as you might get overwhelmed with posts to read when you may only want a quick answer.

Welcome from 35 miles south of the Springs.. Best thing is follow the book, and find five different kinds of compost. We make our own, get composed cow from the prison, bulk compost from the garden center in Canon and the rest as we find it. I have one suggestion from living in the Springs for many years. Always plant at least three tomatoes in pots so that you can bring them inside when it hails.
