    Hi from Montana!

    I have a sister-in-law in Charly Lake BC, near Ft St Johns (if this is wrong I got it from my husband) She is a HUGE gardener. She grows most of their food. BC has an interesting climate. I lived a few years in Porthill, Idaho right on the border. We had an insane growing season up there!

I gardened the same plot for 35 years, and now, 15 miles from the continent divide, I am on a whole new learning curve! I have a small greenhouse and use raised beds with hoop houses when necessary, but it’s...

    Hi from Montana!

    Thanks! I’m not on social media, so this is as close as I will get! I love gathering knowledge from other gardeners. I imagine East Texas has its own gardening challenges.

    Hi from Montana!

    My first husband and I literally ran away from CA in the 70s and never looked back. Mt. Is truly the last best place. We spent 40 years on the Bull River near the Idaho border. After raising 3 kids in a log cabin, and losing my first husband, I was fortunate to meet a wonderful guy from the...

    Bean cross-pollination

    Hi, This year my daughter planted Trionfo Violetto - purple pole beans right next to her blue lake pole beans in her enormous garden. I swiped a huge bag of them to eat and, hopefully plant. I’m wonder if they crossed with the blue lakes and what that might mean. I like both types, but really...

    Hi from Montana!

    Hello fellow gardeners. I am excited about exchanging gardening ideas with other folks! I’ve been gardening for the last 50 years, and although I have learned a lot, I am by far not “the master”. Every year and every new location poses challenges and learning opportunities. I moved to the Helena...
